Just add between locations and save on exit
It's not about "skill issue" as some nolifers with 12 hours of free time will claims. It's just about ergonomics. Players would split their long raids and will have much more comfortable gameplay (idiots will claim it's casual, while actual hardcore players will say it's a good design).

Just to compare: rogue-lite games, like Dead Cells, Oblivion Overdrive, Isaac, DRG Survival and others have design with runs no more, than 30-40 minutes average.
Even Helldivers 2, which is hardcore game, have no more, than 40 minutes matches.

So, why not make this game much more comfortable to play, so player could split his raids to several game sessions, and if he lose in raid - he will get back to garage as intended by current design.

In the time it took you to write this you could have finished the level and saved the game

I just took some break from the game.
And you, skill issuers, have issues, if you are defending such bad design. Even such punishful games, like Project Zomboid have save on exit.

I just spent an hour carefully looting the big second drive map, still learning the game, i assumed when i got to the special icon at the end of the map that i would complete the drive, but instead the map just started zoning in, my car was stuffed, and i died and lost my entire inventory..... awesome bro rofl, the act of stopping your car every 5 seconds to loot duct tape and scrap metal isnt fun enough for me to want to spend time doing that again after the game spitting in my face.

Just on this experience, you would probably find that the dumpster back at the base would be extremely generous and spit out a ton of items to get you back on your feet. But yeah the learning curve is steep for the first couple of maps. I died on the first 3 runs being too reckless.

And just to be clear OP. the game saves at the start of each map. Your title implies that you cannot save between maps.

Title implies OP didn't bother reading pinned posts explaining just that. Lol.

No point in writing the comments right now. The Discussions are full of fan boys or second accounts from the devs trying to save a sunken ship. But you´re right with the saving. <3 Heads up, come back when the hype dies down in one or two weeks.

Just almost lost the 3 zone run with a lot of loot, just because script portal were on the other side of mountanious zone, plus two unlucky meets with anomalies. And it's ok, lost is lost, more thrill, more responsibility for actions.

In any way, I'm rooting for autosave on exit, so I could park the car in somewhat safe place in zone and exit from game for returning to the game on the next day and continue the run from the same point.

In game I didn't find such info. Besides, why not add save on exit, as many games, including hardcore, have?
