Saving your progress in a game can be a bit difficult sometimes. Almost all games offer some kind of autosave functionality. But what about manual saves? Yes, autosave is handy, but it triggers at specific locations or events. Meanwhile, if a game has a manual save function, then you can just save and leave. Fortunately, My Time at Sandrock has both of these options. But still, it’s wise to know what triggers the autosave function and which key combination you should use for manually saving your progress. So, we have shared this guide featuring all the information on the same.
Saving your progress is a crucial thing in games like My Time at Sandrock, as it’s a farming simulator game with a pinch of crafting and building. This means that if you forget to manually save your progress, you might lose quite a bit of progress. Games like Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 continuously sync your progress through the cloud because they have huge servers in place that can do that. Well, My Time at Sandrock isn’t far behind in this aspect, but if you don’t know how to save your progress in-game, continue reading.
My Time at Sandrock: How to save in-game progress?
Story mode
Let’s start with the story mode. In this mode, you will have access to a total of two save options. The first is the quick save. You can press the F5 key for a quick save. It has 20 slots, and this instantly triggers a save. For example, if your latest progress is on the 3rd slot, then it’ll overwrite the 3rd one. If you want to manually choose your slot, then open the pause menu in-game with the Escape key and select the Save option. Here, you can choose to save your progress in a new slot or overwrite a previous one.
Multiplayer (Co-op) Mode
If you are playing with your friends, then the above-mentioned methods won’t work for saving in-game progress. If the host of your lobby quits the game, then My Time at Sandrock will automatically save your progress. In multiplayer mode, there is no manual saving option available.
Autosave triggers
As mentioned earlier, My Time at Sandrock has a few autosave trigger points. These points will trigger the autosave at regular intervals. Unlike manual saves, autosave progress is stored in only one slot, and each trigger overwrites the previous one. So, when does an autosave trigger?
- End the day by sleeping in bed
- Faint at 3:00
- Starting a new day
- Completing a mission or handing a commission
These four events will trigger an autosave. Also, if you want to access the save files of the game on your PC, head over to this directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[Steam User Id]\1084600\remote. Here, you will find your in-game progress save files. Well, this was our complete guide on how to save in-game progress in My Time at Sandrock.
