How to save?

[The_K00lDude]

Anyone know how to save the game? does it save upon sleeping like other games? I just haven't seen a saving Icon, so it's hard to tell.

from the video review i watch. it save when you go to sleep.

Yes, it absolutely saves when you sleep. Honestly its the worst thing to carry over from the whole stardew farming sim genre. At least in stardew you can pause.

I thought the 'just resting my eyes' option would be a sort of mid-day save, but it's not. That, combined with the inability to pause the game even in settings and even in single player makes this game really bad for interruptions. I like to go to the bathroom or stop the cat from knocking over my monitor for attention without having to finish the day and exit the game first.

thanks, I would also like to save anywhere, TBH it helps a lot with a busy life style. It's EA so hopefully we get a pause and save anytime option in the future.

looks like another developer not respecting the player's time. from wishlist to ignore.

I won't buy the game until it has save anywhere and a pause. Thanks for making it known.

Do game devs expect us to glue our butt on our chair the whole time playing their game ? Is it really that hard to add a pause in a game, I notice some games also don't have pause such as Astroneer, Valheim (can with mod, so it's actually doable to add pause even to a MP game played as SP)

I will say its particularly annoying because this game is so good for that kind of I have a few minutes to kill or I'm doing something but it doesn't require my full attention. Right now I haven't experienced how important time is, but if I've got something to do in 10 minutes I'm kinda put off that I have to rush through the day

I had to stay awake for hours because I didn't have a bedroll, my health and food bar dropped alarmingly, because I didn't have any food and didn't know where to get it..it was dark, I was going to just come out but I didn't want to go through all the introduction scene again, as soon as I got the bedroll I slept and all the the bars went back up so that's something.

I'm confused on how you were using up your energy, you don't get tools until after you get a bedroll. besides using tools there aint really anyway to use your energy, from what I've seen. Maybe it was your health that was low?

But yeah time doesn't cause many problems yet, maybe later when shops close different times etc... sleeping is good for save and to reset health/stam

If the_k00ldude is right and you don't lose energy from time passing then I don't see why it's a big deal. I haven't played it but I assume time passing isn't a big deal like in stardew valley.
Some games do it as an addition to it's realism.
Personally, I'd rather the ability to pause the game/time than energy only being consumed as you use tools.

The later at night it gets the smaller your stamina/energy bar gets. The first time I had to leave the game I thought it was paused. Came back a few minutes later and the in game time says "LATE" and my stamina bar is about half a centimetre wide. From just standing there. So yes, absolutely possible to lose energy while doing nothing.

Some kind of pause needs to happen in single player.

That'll explain that then. the days are long enough that I've not stayed up too long in the night, to notice it

Please make a save anytime and the ability to pause the game.

[The_K00lDude]

Seems like my save is broken, I can't get back into my tent. Something that could have been resolved by a good old save system, where you have save slots etc... would have just loaded an old save, but no that aint a thing sadly

[stargate_marti99]

I would also like to have the option to Pause and save game at any time.
Its just you have lots of other stuffs to do or bell rings or whatever and if you then lose time it sucks....

[Mercyssh]

Pausing time on pressing Escape would be much much appreciated! Like others said, This game is very fun and casual, and it would be nice to be able to get up to do things in real life without time passing by in game!
