FuryoftheStarsI get lag spikes when it autosaves. About 3 secs. I imagine map size and perhaps more so beaver population and how much you've built all factors into this, along with PC hardware.

Thierry3D MergedAutosaves should not cause the game to pause or miss user actions. Why don't you just take an in-memory snapshot of the game state and write it to disk in small chunks during refresh latency?
—Great game by the way! -

Patrick D Ethen MergedIf I can't disable autosave can you get it to save smoothly without hitching? PC3600 Memory, Gen4 Rocket Plus SSD - shouldn't freeze :)
Thank you! -

VasPosted in 2021, and auto save has only gotten far worse since then. xD
Yea, this really absolutely needs to be fixed. Seriously, I'm on an SSD, with a pretty powerful computer. The auto saves even on a fresh new map are heavy. Why not try and find a more efficient method?
You could also improve auto saving by dumping useless information such as dead plants (With a suggestion of mine that'd be voided anyway), and allow the players to choose how often auto save happens or when. Like for example, if I only want it to auto save if I pause for longer than 5 seconds, but not more than once every 5 minutes. -

Myth MergedEvery time the game autosaves, the game lags. Great game though, highly addictive.
