I really like survivial mode. Never really play anything else. It's the little things that help you play immersively. If you are playing on PC, then there are a few mods that are worth getting, but you can work it fine without them.

There's a mod on the nexus to re-enable achievements when playing with other mods. The nexus is free, you don't HAVE to pay..

I strongly recommend you finish the game on normal first (or a slightly higher difficulty if you wish). Then try survival.

To actually answer your questions, how it work is that the game automatically save every single time you sleep in a bed. Even if you only sleep for a single hour. So if you die, whatever happen, your last save will wake you up in that bed like nothing happened. There is also a save function now which allow you to save about anywhere BUT it is only for convenience of being able to save if you need to stop playing right that moment and you don't have a bed nearby. The thing with that "save anywhere" is that if you end up dying later on you'll still reload at your last bed rest.

And yes, I would not play this game anymore without survival. I've found normal difficulty very lacking. I became a God very very fast, nothing was able to even hurt me much if at all anymore and I ended the main quest line quite fast. In Survival you actually have to monitor your health and hunger which is nice... But you also die very easily. It is also true of most enemies too, so it is way more realistic this way.

Actually surviving in survival mode is very satisfying, unlike in the vanilla normal mode game.

Just so you actually have a clue about what to expect and what you are doing. Survival is also unforgiving.

You need to rest in beds to save in survival, if you save on exit it's only a once off save, it erases the save file once you enter the game so only saving when sleeping at beds will save your file for multi load ins like a normal save game.. Do not rely on exit saves you will waste heaps of time.
The other major draw back is no fast travel, makes things alot harder not being able to move quickly between area's, you''ll need to be a nuclear scientist just so your cores don't wear down so fast.

It's also bad if your game crashs or a settler you like die's in a raid and you just spent 2 hours in game and haven't saved, makes going back to do things a again always different because you'll probably end up doing something else.
