Auto Quicksave Mod

[Msherrard]

I am new to the forums, so sorry if I put this in the wrong spot.

I have been playing KSP for a few years now, and I always forget to quicksave, which then bites me in the butt. Could someone make a mod that auto-quicksaves every few minutes?

KSP already does autosaves every few minutes.

Too bad the older ones get overwritten each and every time. But the same thing happens with manual quicksaves.

[Msherrard]

It autosaves, but you can't access them. They are for if the game crashes. I am talking about a mod that F5's for me every five minutes or so.

[Tex_NL]

You most certainly can. Press Alt + F9 and select 'persistent' That one is your autosave.

Kerbal Alarm Clock can make a dated save file when you switch (via the alarm) to another ship.

But yeah I've had the problem where I nailed a base landing, then switched to a second part that needed a similar landing. Fluffed the landing of the second half, quick F9 and I realised my big mistake, was back with the first ship on decent. Worst bit is the persistent was immediately updated (I might have gone back to space centre too), so couldn't reload that to get at least the first landed ship back. Took another 10 attempts before the landing was not an explosion, but by then the second landing was easier because of the practice.

I already did

Dated QuickSaves forum thread (scroll down a bit, all my modlets are on that page)

Dated QuickSaves KerbalStuff page (text is outdated)

Dated QuickSaves does more than autosaves, it also renames your quicksaves to include information like the in-game date so you know how far back you'll go when you load it (with options for a few handfuls of other info), that way you don't lose the quicksaves as soon as you make a new one. The autosaves also have all the same options for naming conventions and can be set to save any number of minutes apart (default is 15). You also can set a limit on how many quicksaves and autosaves to keep.

Load them with Alt-F9.

Let me know if you have any questions about it!

if you just want to auto-save more often, go into the settings.cfg file of your KSP install and edit the AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL, which defaults to 300 (seconds = 5 minutes)
