Nice! I have thought about a dockign autosave a few days ago!

Nice mod, considering how simple it appears I'm surprised Egosoft didn't include that in the game itself. Doesn't look like they need to do much work to achieve a basic level of autosave lol...

It wasn't in the original release, sometime between 1.13 and 1.16 they added an event for trigger_autosave but didn't actually put it into use anywhere, which as you said is a bit strange.

Welp 1.17 answered that question, they just implemented autosave.

It's turned on by default and you can see it in Game Settings > Auto save

The built in auto saved only works when you are leaving a station. When I spotted it built into 1.17 I remove your mod and deleted all the files. I've flown for an hour scanning stations etc. docked and got a CTD... Good job I now always try and remember to do a F5 before landing and taking off.

If there's a need for it I'd be happy to remove egosoft's version and have the when docking instead of when undocking method.

Yours worked when docking, I think by having egosofts version AND yours it might be safer. though I think the CTD I sometimes get when it's docked would happen before your save happens so I would lose out anyway.

Maybe the mod could be repurposed into a 'timed autosave.' I personally don't like the built in autosave when undocking, and would like to see a autosave anywhere if no other save in 15/20/25/30 minutes.

Could be a nice safety net to protect the player if they are out exploring and not docking or even using the NESA mod.

Thats definitely possible, I'll probably get round to it soon.

Any news on this coming available again on Nexus? even the simple one for saving when docking?

The simple autosave on dock is enabled again on nexus, haven't done the timed one, kind of given up on rebirth at the moment just doesn't feel worth it.
