Description:
Chrono Save

Never lose progress again! Chrono Save adds a real-time autosave system that protects your colony with regular saves based on actual time, not game time.

CORE FEATURES
  • Automatic saves every 5 minutes of real time (configurable)
  • Works independently of vanilla autosaves – no interference
  • Continues saving even when game is paused or at different speeds
  • Rotating save system prevents save file buildup

FUNCTIONALITY
  • Uses real-world time tracking instead of in-game time
  • Creates saves named "Chronosave-X" with rotating numbers
  • Saves are standard RimWorld saves – fully compatible with all features
  • Minimal performance impact with efficient time tracking

SAVE MANAGEMENT
  • Default: 10 rotating chronosaves (Chronosave-1 through Chronosave-10)
  • Automatically overwrites oldest save when limit is reached
  • Configurable save count (1-25 saves)
  • Independent save files won’t conflict with manual or auto saves

FLEXIBLE CONFIGURATION
  • Save interval: Adjustable from 1 to 60 minutes
  • Save count: Choose how many chronosaves to maintain
  • Enable/disable toggle: Turn the system on or off as needed
  • Access settings through Options → Mod Settings → Chrono Save

PAUSE-FRIENDLY DESIGN
  • Saves continue even when game is paused
  • Works at all game speeds (1x, 2x, 3x)
  • Perfect for long planning sessions or AFK periods
