Even thought my game doesn't crash (crosses fingers) it's something that needs to be implemented, but it should be an option not an 'always on' feature

Should be top priority for the first patch imo. Bugs aren't so bad if you know you can revert to an autosave, if you can't then they just kill the game.

Apparently theres an option in debug mode...

Deside · 09-09-2008, 11:52 PM

Yes, but what I'd also like to see is more convential stage-saving as at the moment I've spawned in the middle of the most warlike gits in the galaxy and they keep just killing me the whole damned time. Not fun. If I could go back to an old save and try again, or even reroll my neighbours that would be better.

But the Autosave shouldnt just save every few minutes, it should come up and ask you if you want to save and ask you for a save spot, that way you dont accidently overwrite a perfect game just after you made a huge mistake.

Jcrebrov · 10-09-2008, 08:34 AM

I think there should be atleast some sort of auto-save, especially if you move onto a new phase, but meh, lesson learned from last night, just got to space stage on my new critter, game crashes for no reason, check back today and he's back in creature land, not even as the final creature I had made, kudos EA for wasting a few hours of my time by not providing us with a simple feature that almost every other game has.

as long as they can fix the corrupt save issue!

I would be in favour of this ONLY if this feature is given the option to choose to enable or disable. Not having this auto save has been pretty helpful for me at times and i haven't had any crashes yet so...

IMHO autosave should occur at certain events and then your history should also be an autosave history so you can go back to any point in the history and play from there.

Pure autosave is not enough because the way the game works at the moment you may overwrite a key decision point unintentionally if you have autosave but do not have access to previous saves.

Its brave of Maxis to go the permadeath/resurrection route but it comes across as a PITA because they got their themes muddled. In the space stage they try to give you a rank like Elite and wheedle round it with cloning which gives everyone an attachment to the spaceship. It should be one of many such ships like the creature phase so you can recruit more and simply take over a new one when one is tragically lost. etc
