We need backup saves!

[YURIFUR]

Hi! Not so long ago I was playing 21 alpha at night and there was a power outage. I went to bed, and in the morning I found that my world had disappeared.
In a20, the world just collapsed: the trees disappeared, the character was removed.
In this regard, I would like to see backups of the saved worlds in the game. Let's say every 10-15 minutes the worlds will be saved to a separate folder. Maybe it will be possible to roll back to the previous save directly from the game?
It would be much easier to play. This would save us from a sudden power outage, a computer crash, or just a game crash (although I've never had that).
I have quit the game many times for a long time when I played for a long time and lost everything because of some little thing. Yes, I sometimes have problems with electricity, and I think that no one is immune from this.

I apologize for the problems with the text, I wrote with the help of a translator.

I believe there is code in A21 that is preparation for a backup game save feature (can't remember if I read that in the patch notes or somewhere else).

 

Hopefully whatever is it is coming in a future update or alpha.

Yeah, they stated somewhere - I also can't remember where - that they are preparing for a backup option.  We'll see how well it works.

Fo the time being I have a bat script that creates a backup every 5 minutes (customizable) with 3 backups at anyone time.

Aswell as one that creates a single backup before launching the game (steam). Keeping 4 backups before starting to override the first one.

 

Unfortunetly when I have tried to post them it registers my message as spam. If anyone want them I will figure a way of getting them on here or use github.

There are some restrictions for new users.  After you've posted a bit, you shouldn't get that message anymore.  I'm not sure if you're trying to put the bat file into a code block in the message or posting a link?  You could try the other if you've only tried one.  I think there are mods available for A20 (that'll likely get updated for A21) to make backups as well.

I use github for any of my modlets I posted for others.  I don't think you can post the actual file, it has to be placed in a file hosting site and you can post the link.   Also, Riamus's comment on new users is also in effect.
