How to Play Even When the Host Is Offline

Is there a way to not have it sync with every auto save? I get a notification every time the host does an auto save. it updates thee save history. This is a lot of data that may not need to pass over the internet. Can it be set to only share a save when the session ends?

Will look into it, could be something changed in the save structure

This is not working for me.
When I open Palworld, it shows the saved file as Unknown World Data.
