Real-Time Auto Save

Description
Description
Allows you to configure auto-saves to happen on a real-time interval rather than an in-game time interval (default is 10 minutes). That way if you're working on some complex planning while the game is paused, it will still be saved every so often in case you get a BSOD or something (Windows 10 amiright?)

Compatibility
Use at your own risk!! I am not responsible if your auto-saves aren't working and your game crashes and you lose hours of progress.

@lloki @Hades the King I think I fixed it. It was just the debug log messages causing errors because they were being written from another thread. I have removed them.

I had it happen while i was choosing my map. it might have something to do when other mods have red errors.

@Hades the King No worries, maybe next time!

@Hades the King Do you have the log file still? The red errors might be useful!

I was getting the same white messages as lloki and i also got red errors after each pattern message. When i tried replicating it just stopped happening. I have no idea how to get it to happen again

Ok, but in my case it also tries to do it in the main menu. And I don't think it's saving while I'm in the ideology or any other menu ingame either. I mean something feels off now, I don't remember it was the case in 1.5. Of course it can be my fault as well, I'm playing will a lot of mods, maybe they are breaking something. I will do some more tests.

@lloki So it's only during gameplay? In that case, that's intentional. As long as it's only doing it as often as you configured it to. Spending a lot of time in a menu with the game paused is basically the reason I made this mod. You'll still get auto saves even with the game paused so you don't lose whatever you were doing in the menu.
