Lost over 1Hour of progress
Introduce autosave immediately. Just lost over 1 hour of progress because this game doesnt have autosave. Black market uprgrades EVERYTHING.

Yes don't say to me
"get to your ship to save"

INTRODUCE AUTOSAVE NO SHIP SAVE

Every time I'm about to use a portal, save point X. Come through the portal to the other side, another save point X. About to fly to a station? Save point X before getting in my ship. Fly around a while, go back to my planet and save again. This is what I've learned to do because there's no auto-save and ships are unreliable for saving, even though I still build a landing pad first thing once the basic structure of any new base is complete. Sometimes I've build a box room just to have a portal, save point, and landing pad. It's one of the few times I'll actually build solar panels.

The autosave can be a curse. Be careful what you ask for.

there is an autosave and a manual save

so what are you suggesting?
not sure what your asking for
but i believe its already in the game

Autosave is a bad idea in this game.

That explains why the game has it. :P
Seriously, what?
It's a good idea, and it literally prevents MASSIVE loss of progress.
Huh?

Let me rephrase that. A timed autosave is a bad idea in this game. There are obviously autosave when you perform certain actions, yes.

Always carry a save beacon and save every time you do anything. That works almost 100% of the time, only had it bork on me twice.

This game doesn't need autosave. It needs a quick save upon pressing a button such as F5.
F5 to save and F9 to reload.

Grow up. Autosave would be bad for this game. You can make a portable save point. Make one, or several and bring them with you.

I have over 3000 hours, I could spare you one. :steamhappy:

Whatever you do, stay away from Permadeath mode if one lost hour bothers you so much XD.
Honestly though, if it's that big of a problem, make a save beacon, take it with you. I had my game crash the other day, logged back in to my manual save, started playing without opening my inventory, did a few things, manual saved again, autosaved a couple of times....only to realise after about ten minutes of play that the crash had wiped out my suit inventory. Everything except my tech panels and cargo.
Now that, my friend, is upsetting. :)
But honestly, I would hate to see autosave in this....perhaps a quick save button as someone else suggested, some little tech thing you could build into your suit or multitool and then bind to a key to use.

Only an hour? I lost 3 hrs a few days ago due to some weird crash.

Disable Steam Cloud, it removes autosave!
