Changing the autosave interval on an Astroneer server gives server admins flexibility and customization 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 to save. 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.
