Changing the autosave interval on an Astroneer server offers flexibility and customization to server admins to preserve the game world's state at set intervals. Shorter autosave intervals provide more frequent backups, ensuring player progress is well-preserved. This can be particularly beneficial in case of server crashes or unexpected technical issues, minimizing potential losses. However, it may lead to brief interruptions during gameplay as the game pauses for saving. Conversely, longer autosave intervals reduce interruptions but carry a slightly higher risk of data loss if an issue occurs between saves.
1. Log in to the BisectHosting Starbase panel.
2. Stop the server.
3. Go to the Startup tab.
4. On the Autosave Interval dropdown, choose the desired interval. The recommended default is 15 minutes.
5. Start the server.
