Auto Save Mod [B41/B42]

Tired of losing your valuable time after dying in a long-term save? Just activate Auto-save!

---- HOW TO INSTALL ----

This is a Java mod, meaning just enabling it won't be enough to make it work! In order to install it properly, follow the next steps:

1. Right click Project Zomboid from your Steam Library list.

2. Select Manage > Browse Local Files

3. This should open Project Zomboid's folder.

4. Now, open a new file browser, and go to

IF YOU HAVE THE GAME INSTALLED IN OTHER DISK THAN THE OS ONE.

"D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\3460681779\mods\AutoSaveMod"


IF YOU HAVE THE GAME INSTALLED IN YOUR OS DISK.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\3460681779\mods\AutoSaveMod"


5. If you're using Build 42, go inside the "42" folder.

6. In both cases (B41 or B42), go inside the media folder, and copy the "zombie" one.

7. Go back to Project Zomboid's game files, and simply paste and replace everything on it!

8. You should be done!!

---- HOW DOES THE MOD WORK ----

By default, it will auto-save your game every day you've survived for. You can customize it to make it save per week, month, and even year! In order to do so, please enable both this mod and the ones required (Mod Options) to be able to change it. Once you've set everything up, just go to Options, then "Mods" and find "Auto Save" to set it to your liking!

---- BE CAREFUL! ----

Every time the game auto-saves, it will freeze for a bit. Do NOT try to click anything or change windows at all, Windows (or whatever OS you're using) will think the game has frozen and attempt to automatically close it! How long it takes to save may depend on what is going on inside the game. If you're fighting a big horde, it'll probably take about a minute. Be patient!

---- HOW DO I UNINSTALL IT ----

Follow the same steps to install it, but, instead of copying the "zombie" folder, go to the one labeled "Vanilla" and copy the one inside it. If this doesn't work, or you want to make sure it's 100% gone, you can restore Project Zomboid's files with Steam.
