Multiplayer Host Autosave world?
We just had a server crash and it rolled back our world till when we started playing today on B41Multiplayer. Is there a way to enable an autosave for world data?

I dont think there is. Though one of the mods i spoke to advised that i did /save when exiting worlds and then /quit to cleanly shut it down. Maby at intervals do the /save to help :)

Yes, there is. By default, it's off. We had some crashes on our dedicated server and we lost progress. I changed it to save every 10 minutes.

Edit servertest.ini in the server folder.
The line to edit is SaveWorldEveryMinutes=0
I changed it to SaveWorldEveryMinutes=10

Since this is an option for a dedicated server, I would assume it's also one for local hosting, but I've not yet confirmed that.

Hey so what's the file directory to get to that? I've been trying to find it cuz I'm sick of my random laptop shutdowns (problem of its own) rolling back hours of progress
