Chrono Save [1.6]

Description
Chrono Save

Never lose progress again! Chrono Save adds a real-time autosave system that protects your colony with regular saves based on actual time, not game time.

CORE FEATURES
  • Automatic saves every 5 minutes of real time (configurable)
  • Works independently of vanilla autosaves - no interference
  • Continues saving even when game is paused or at different speeds
  • Rotating save system prevents save file buildup

FUNCTIONALITY
  • Uses real-world time tracking instead of in-game time
  • Creates saves named "Chronosave-X" with rotating numbers
  • Saves are standard RimWorld saves - fully compatible with all features
  • Minimal performance impact with efficient time tracking

SAVE MANAGEMENT
  • Default: 10 rotating chronosaves (Chronosave-1 through Chronosave-10)
  • Automatically overwrites oldest save when limit is reached
  • Configurable save count (1-25 saves)
  • Independent save files won't conflict with manual or auto saves

FLEXIBLE CONFIGURATION
  • Save interval: Adjustable from 1 to 60 minutes
  • Save count: Choose how many chronosaves to maintain
  • Enable/disable toggle: Turn the system on or off as needed
  • Access settings through Options → Mod Settings → Chrono Save

PAUSE-FRIENDLY DESIGN
  • Saves continue even when game is paused
  • Works at all game speeds (1x, 2x, 3x)
  • Perfect for long planning sessions or AFK periods

@Huehuecóyotl I thought the constant saving would interfere with the gameplay. It is pretty visible, but surprisingly every time I see it, I'm not annoyed, I feel safe and a bit of relief. It also has another unintended effect. It makes me realise how fast 5 minutes goes by while I play. Of all the mods I've created (released and unreleased), this one's actually had the biggest impact on my gameplay.

Can confirm so far this works exactly as it is described, been a real comfort factor having actual time-investment saves rather than day progress saves

@Davi I wasn't aware of that mod's existence. I honestly don't know if there's much of a difference. Whether there is or not, I wrote this for myself and since all of my mods are on GitHub anyway, I just uploaded to workshop. You can try them both and see if you like one better than the other. I will keep using mine though because I know it's good.

@Davi
From the looks of it, this mod adds the real time based save, along side Rimworld's default game time based save. The mod you linked seems to replace the default save systme.

Hi, how is this different to Real-Time Auto Save mod? https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2554529406

@Tyrant this mod uses the vanilla saving mechanism. If that mod triggers upon a save, then it should be compatible with Chrono Save. I don't really have any desire to implement it as part of this mod, but I would be open to working with the other mod developer to make them compatible.

Would you consider implementing save compression? https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3243386716
