That's a really major downside. Bummer. Edit: just downloaded to see for myself. You seem to be able to save and load, at least in singleplayer on pc. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Infiltrated_ad8271@kbin.social 3 points 3 years ago I suspect I didn't explain myself well. If I remember correctly, you can enter and exit the campaign, and doing so saves the game. There is also a single autosave, which you can't manually select and is there for better or worse. So in practice, one mistake or ruthless surprise can turn into a lot of wasted time. For the sake of my alopecia, I used to make regular backups to the whole folder, convenient enough using btrfs. permalink fedilink source parent [–] __jov@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 years ago (1 child) +1 for mindustry.
