saving

[LarryL721]

A better saving system is definitely required. I stopped playing game and moved on to another game. If things change maybe i"ll go back. Also, I'm thinking about a refund.

Could you give some more info on your issues with the save system, collating feedback for future updates

[Flavalicious]

What a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ feedback post. lol. :D

Some people don't have the time{kids,work,etc.} to play until a save point is reached. Like many other games I play I like the freedom of saving or overwriting at my time.

Yep, I lost all of my progress just looking for the save option. I didn't realise I had to hit a story milestone to save. Ah well, I'll start over from the very beginning tomorrow because I don't feel like retracing my steps right now.

thanks, definitely noted and the dev team have the save system on their list to address

Hey there, how far did you get before losing progress?

Temporary save on quit would work fine.

I lost progress as well. I made it through the initial conversation on the docks with the lead scientist and had to leave the game. A save point after meeting the captain would be a nice addition.

Thanks, we're currently investigating how quickly and safely we'd be able to put out an autosave feature

The last step I recall is when we assign workers for the first time. I’ll get there again tomorrow

Another game that does not have a good save system. If I had a penny for every one of these ....

It looks so fun and I'd love to play it but after trying the demo and losing so much progress because of the save options. No way

I'm glad I saw this thread before buying. The lack of a save and quit or save anything feature is a deal killer for me. I don't want to keep replaying parts of a game because I couldn't save my progress when I needed to exit playing.

We’ll have as best a solve to this as we can ASAP. For now, players can go back through the weeks to retry their run from any given spot. We’re actively investigating improvements as our highest priority.

Thank you. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Some initial improvements in the latest patch that just went live - https://steamcommunity.com/app/1266030/discussions/0/3772364949852228980/

The manual save / autosave is something the team are still working on but in the meantime there are improvements to the Save Tree UX and a pop up when quitting mid week to make it clearer that you will lose progress if you do so.
