Safe Autosave

Protect Your Colony with Safe Autosave for Oxygen Not Included

Few things are more frustrating for a duplicant manager than losing precious progress due to an autosave mishap. Imagine meticulously planning your next expansion, mid-drag, only for the game to save, locking in unintended commands or, worse, corrupting your save file. The Safe Autosave mod for Oxygen Not Included aims to eliminate this specific brand of digital despair, ensuring your carefully crafted asteroid settlements remain intact.

Never Lose Your Hard Work Again

The core functionality of Safe Autosave revolves around a simple yet vital safeguard: it preemptively cancels any active drag operations just before the autosave process begins. This crucial delay prevents a multitude of potential problems. Without this mod, initiating an autosave while drawing out dig, build, or deconstruct orders could lead to chaotic and unwanted changes across your base. These unintended actions could range from accidental demolition of vital infrastructure to the unwanted placement of structures, forcing you to reload or painstakingly undo the damage.

How Safe Autosave Works

This mod intelligently interrupts your current drag action, giving the autosave function a clean slate to operate on. While this means that any in-progress drag selections for digging or canceling orders will be lost, the benefits far outweigh this minor inconvenience. Importantly, the mod is designed to preserve ongoing build plans for elements like wires and pipes. This means your complex utility networks and piping systems will remain unaffected, allowing you to continue their construction seamlessly after the autosave completes.
