I'd love to help but I don't own one, haha

How do I get this going on steam deck

huh... weird.

41.78.16.

are you on build 42 or 41?

Hey @Lol124, first of all, great idea! This mod was exactly what I was looking for, however after copy pasting zombie file per your guide, game wont open. It goes to black screen and I can see assets loading before it crashes back to steam page. I'm able to run it if I verify integrity of files but that removes the mod. Did anyone else report this same issue?

The mod is complete crap, it doesn't work. I relied on it and lost my save with the character. I don't recommend installing it.

i've got no idea if it'd work for linux to be honest

Will this work for Steamdeck/Linux?
Also shorter intervals would be cool like every 6-12 hour options saving

Man, thanks for the mod, but I want to change it for myself a little. My in game day lasts for 8 real hours, so waiting for end of it is to long for me. How I can change time for autosave and add option for it?

Is it possible to add auto pause option right before save? Also, manual save oprion would be very good indeed.
Thanks for the mod. Playing on a crappy pc this gives me peace of mid that if i die from a lag i can at least rollback.

i'll consider it, thank you!

If you can, please add a way to do manual auto saves. That would make this mod 100% greater!

I haven't tested it but i doubt it'd

Does it work in multiplayer?

Hello friend! You must've heard this problem from your subscribers before, but I have a slight problem.

Same thing like Equilix | Doom, I cannot find the setting in Mod Options.

I followed your instructions to a proper end, but It feels like I'm a old man since it's not working...

I tried resetting, reinstalling, mod order changes, etc. Yet it doesn't appear.

I am using Build 42 and did the correct things, but it seems I've failed either way.

Thank you for reading and I hope I can help if I am not clear on anything!

Thank you! Glad you liked it! I'll be updating it soon hopefully

Yo this mod is amazing. Thank you so freaking much

Why you should add this? Because if you spam PZ unresponsive window. Windows Handler could end process after PZ become responsive again. Maybe after auto save is completed you don't lose anything. But main save will be borked 100%

Its not a news that this bad freeze could happend, especially when you saving so much elements in one save (around 30 000 elements in one folder) it could be optimized somehow, but i don't think that TIS will do anything about it because its not their priority right now.

When you will make message about "save start" you could type something like:

Starting Saving . . .
(If it takes longer than usual, don't panic, don't touch anything, just wait until its done)..

Quick update: While saving it could freeze for a really long time for unknown freaking reason. I had a heart attack for the moment because if my game crashed this time - i would lost current save, and the save what is saving right now.

The strange thing happend is - when it was in saving process. It was like 5 minutes or longer, when it saving for that long you probably start to panic a little bit.

If you open windows task manager, it shows that PZ using around 3.0 mb/s of hard drive (my game installed on HDD). Then, there a another process called: Microsoft Windows Search Indexer what eats a lot of HDD usage (around 5-8 mb/s) for no good reason. And knowing that microsoft never updated this crucial part of the system, and its works awful nowdays in compare with other third-party program (like "Everything") what does indexing much better.

You have to enable it for B41 but you don't have to for B42, the options should show up by themselves. I remember getting them to work so I'll just review the code in short. Thanks for the multiple reports lol.

Also, about the multiple times options... I guess I could consider it. The message before the game starts saving is a good idea as well. Thanks for the feedback once again!

I'm so stupid. I've indexed the wrong mod :((((((

Can you add more options of time? To save like not every 24 hours but 12 hours, 6 hours, 2 hours ingame time?

And as i see, after saving it created save with _auto prefix. It would be perfect if it would save up to 3 backups for the 100% safe progression (or how many player will check for autosave from 1 to 5 slots)

It would be logical to print message above player that game starts saving (before saving so message will appear first). To not confuse users when game freezes.

Can't seem to get the Mod Options to appear.

I've tried rearranging the load order. Restarting the game. etc Nothing seems to fix it. I've attached screenshots that hopefully help. Also on B42

https://file.garden/aDhShqUiyC8J02m7/Mod%20Options (Mod Options)

i guess i could give it a try eventually. thanks for the feedback

well, i mean, if you do manage to simulate the very same process the game uses to save, therefore removing the awful freeze, now that would be hella useful lol.
most of the mods i came accross use some sort of 3rd party software that its kinda annoying imo, yours would possibly be the only one of the kind

Have you noticed how when the game crashes some stuff is missing? That's cuz it doesn't save fully, just some important stuff. The way this mod was done is so it does the "full" save when you quit, so that's why it takes so much. Maybe I could make a faster alternative that doesn't save all the stuff, but I don't think that'd be as useful...?

umh, it's not like I want to over criticize or something, but the game saves at least once a day every morning after waking up, and it does not cause any freezes or anything, so there must be something more than just that going on with the mod

it doesn't really freeze the game, but depending on how many mods you've got and what is going on currently it might actually take a good chunk of time. Sadly, I cannot do much about it given the fact that's just also how the game saves when you use the Quit option.

it works but is inconsistent, very often it freezes the game for real

when you see the "Game Auto-Saved" message it'll create a backup. it will be saved as any other normal file would.

Hi, I wonder where to find the auto-saved files? I think they are enabled because I can see them on the mod list.

yeah, it should work in b42 as well

b42?

make sure you're enabling AutoSave as a mod inside the mod list as well, and if possible, make sure in the mod order list that it is enabled before than the mod options one.

yes both of the mod is enabled. but when i checked the mob option tab, only the autosave is not show up, another mod work fine

Did you enable the B42 native modoptions mod in-game as well? iirc the mod's options should be present in a "Mods" tab inside Options.

can someone explain to me how to change day to week on B42 i enabled 2 required mods and the mod option still not show up.

damn, you gotta try to disable the nukes next time. it can be hard but you can cheese thru the militia pretty easily if you arrive with a good car.

thanks, i really wanted this mod i am playing with week one... and a jet blowup my home :(

done @Adrazeon, follow the steps described in the description and you should be fine.

i just noticed the description i had written step by step got nuked with the latest update. apologies, will try to revert it.

could you be more specific please? i've tested it myself and it does work lol

doesn't Work

Oh yeah @Goukigan, in order to fix it just re-install the Java files just like the first time you did it. Sorry for the trouble.

@Stage Make sure to enable Mod Options if you're on B41, and Native ModOptions if you're on B42. If you're still having trouble consider uninstalling and reinstalling the game.

@Goukigan Hey, just fixed it! Thanks for letting me know!

So I wanted to try it again but the mod refuses to work, this time not even mod options show up. I reinstalled it 2 times, but no change.
Maybe I'll find what's wrong. Just posting here to keep you updated.

the option to save the game per week or month don't work, changed on the mod options to save per week and still saving everyday
