How do I quicksave/load?

[Wig Bang]

Currently, saving is (I think, correct me if I'm wrong) more tedious in this game than in any other game in the history of gaming.

That's strange... but that goes for all menu navigation. It's just terrible with far too many prompts and clicks required to do anything.

Either way, since it currently takes:

3 key presses + 5 clicks to save a game... (come on.. I'm sure you will agree that is beyond insane.. if not done as a troll to us)

I assume there's a quicksave that we're actually meant to use.

Autosave is irrelevant.

How is that not a relevant topic for discussion? Feedback/discussion on/of the UI/UX isn't appropriate on a forum for discussion about the game? Lol.

Saving is tedious. I save a lot when I'm exploring the world for stuff and have to deal with many hazards that I'm not currently teched up enough to easily handle. So I save frequently.

There is an autosave feature built into the game which you can set from 0ff to i dont know how many minutes.

Oh FFS... every damn game out there has a Quick Save key, it's a standard QoL feature in PC games, stop being apologists, it's nauseating...

Ever heard of Nier:Automata?

Obviously not :P

(edit)

Minecraft... "only" one of the most popular games of all time. Guess what? ;)

I’m not against adding a quick save/load feature, But I also don’t think it’s needed either.

Hey, two more games out of thousands don't have Quick Save either so the request is obviously invalid. GIANTFACEPALM.GIF

Oh, I can name a whole lot more if I want to.

But that's not the point I'm trying to make here. Treating a game as if it were another is the main reason why things are going to fail for players.

Satisfactory isn't Factorio... It's also not like any of those quicksave games. Yet instead of acknowlading this (lousy spelling) and making the best out of it... nah, whine, whine, whine.

When in Rome... try to do as the Romans do, you'll have a lot more fun that way.

I disagree. You're being super reductive to save face since your initial response was wrong and over the top.

It's not just "a few keystrokes/clicks" There's more context to it.

It's an excessive number of those actions to complete a task that you may be doing very often.

It has nothing to do with laziness. It has to do with wanting to be quick and efficient and finding a cumbersome action particularly irksome.

I'm not trying to save anything...I still stand by what I said in my initial response and my last comment so I'm done with this....You said it's "beyond insane and tedious" IMO it's pure laziness...period...agree to disagree and move on...Just download the MOD...I hope it makes your gaming experience better.

One solution is maybe a bit 'quicker' and that is to let the autosave save the game each 5 minutes. But a quick save and load is probably on the same list as a pause button 'hard to implement'

Yeah well you're the one who devolved into ad hominem attacks. It has nothing to do with laziness. And as the other guy here said, you're simply wrong in this.

The fact that you "stand by what you said" isn't something you should even put in words. That's not a virtue. It's a red flag about your personality.

There's nothing lazy about being bothered by something being way more tedious than it needs to be.

The real issue is you saying it's beyond insane and tedious...lets be clear...I didn't say what I said about the quick save idea...I said it about your comment "beyond insane and tedious"...what does that say about you?

I tried to leave it at agree to disagree but then you go and take a shot at my personality? Nice 👍

You mean kind of like when you were calling me lazy? I guess it's a tit-for-tat kind of thing then. Maybe stop whining about it? Or whine about me attacking you the way you attacked me and I whined about it and we can keep on keeping on like a couple of six year olds.

Your call. I won't back down when someone is clearly wrong and arrogant about it. And you were really easy to rope back in when you tried to disengage with your "so I'm done with this...." (my immediate response was instinctively tailored to shut that down and manipulate you into continuing)

That said, I'll agree that the "beyond insane" comment I made was a bit over the top. But that's a hilariously petty thing for you to have gotten hung up on. So even if my characterization of the severity of the issue was over the top, you'res till wrong across the board here.

Now shall we leave it at agree to disagree? :)

Okay...if you want to keep digging a hole then fine....lets take this one step at a time...

Your main complaint is this: "3 key presses + 5 clicks to save a game... (come on.. I'm sure you will agree that is beyond insane.. if not done as a troll to us)"

Correct?

just leave when your game autosaves because that's what i do.
anyways, no, there are lots more games that are "harder" to save in. also, quit it with the "subtle" salt.
it takes about .5 to 1.5 more seconds to save than the fastest saving game i've encountered.
and seriously, CLICKING YOUR MOUSE isn't that big of an issue. i'd understand if it was some super fast super awesome cool game, but in this game you're SUPPOSED to wait hours for items.
and an extra second or so is too much, when saving your game of all things? you're clicking hundreds of times to drop foundations and buildings down. now it's an issue? NOW? jeez

also: quicksaving. why would you want it? save scumming for hard drives? do that manually, or just edit your save if you're that "dedicated"

You haven't identified the use case for this feature at all.

Well this response more than your others shows me your neuro-atypicalness. Now I realize I'm probably torturing you by continuing this. So if you'd like, I'll let you get the last word and leave it at that. Have at it.
