How to save?

[Skywalker]

How can I save/load the game without going back to the main menu?

[Key]

Saving is automatic when the game closes.
Loading, as far as im aware theres no way to load a previous save of the game unless you have the world file from that time.

I think I know why they are asking the question. I would love to have a "Press F5 to save NOW" button myself for the following reason:

I have had the game exit to desktop a few times and every time I lost a few minutes of gameplay., and a couple of times losing valuable resources/items that I had gained in that time. This has resulted in me going to the main menu anytime I get a new important resource or create an upgraded item. A function to save NOW would be great until this is fixed.

Yes, cause there is no pause function too :( when I go to the phone, to toilet, to make a coffee ... the game goes on and when I come back my char is thirsty und hungry - or dead.

So everytime (without quicksaving) go back to the game menu, when doing some real life stuff ... is very annoying ... and not everyone plays hours without interuption, or? And I play it single - so this is not a mmo without saving of course.
