  even just being able to set the interval would be better

  At the beginning of the game I wasn't noticing it too much, but now that I've made it farther it is more bothersome. Setting the interval would be nice.

  If the devs don't want to allow us to enable/disable autosaves (or set the autosave interval), another QoL improvement that could make a difference would be to display the save icon at the *beginning* of the save process, at the moment the game starts to freeze, rather than only at the end when we regain character control.

  either make the auto save less disruptive or give us an option to turn off the auto save. i make videos and the auto saves cause me issues. even if i didn't make videos, when i'm doing stuff inbetween videos the auto save makes me feel like the game is crashing, every time

  My game has crashed twice now and I lost all progress that I made in 30 minutes please add automatic game save.

  There have been instances that when the game goes to auto-save while the counters are going, it causes the game to have a freeze/frame rate drop and crash. It's happened a few times for me.

  Every time the game goes to auto save, the game freezes and lags for a few seconds. Give us the option to change the time between auto saves, or disable it all together, as it gives a mini-heart attack thinking the game is about to crash every few minutes.

  Moving your saving into a persistent save object that can be kept up to date off the game thread (make the actor trigger save object updates for itself through delegate events after x amount of time of being placed or some other method, etc) and then only using the game thread to grab information for the player (and whatever you need to track that isn't updated once placed) and save the current save object info to disk should help the lag, but means a save rework of course.
  
  The more you have going on, the longer the autosave takes, so I'd guess it's currently just looping through everything to save when autosave starts. This grows dramatically when you have a lot of money strewn about your space.
