I have honestly lost 8 hours of work, Twice; each time 4 hours.
Yes, this was my own ignorance, but I honestly think you guys should help careless people out by letting them set how uften to auto save. I personally would set it to 2 minutes. But by letting the player put in a number gives them the freedom to set it to how often they want.
A bonus if this does get implemented 0.5 would be 30 seconds

Honestly, in a way this is punishing to people who invest a lot of time in the game. This needs to be prioritized. And I hate that it makes me look like I "deserve" this to be implemented, I just think this is a time saver for people. Where in that case, it was NOT my fault I lost my progress.
I agree with your original post about having an auto save, but your comment about "punishing poeople who invest a lot of time.." is utter nonsense. Sorry.
It takes but a few seconds and two press/clicks (Esc and click save) for you to save a game. Once you click save the game saves and drops you right back into the game. It's not that hard. I manually save every 15 mins or so, or when I have done something that's worth saving.
Whilst we wait for a possible auto game save you can help yourself by regularly saving. It's vary simple to do.
Personally, I don't think an Autosave is needed. It's a lot of fun being able to explore and build whatever you like knowing you could just load your save later. An autosave might save me in a particularly bad situation, and then I'm done for.
By doing the adjustable auto save time each person can adjust it based on their own computer specs and preferences.
I would have the game keep the last 3 auto saves until closing the game (if it crashes it keeps all 3 of them so they can be sent in to the devs to let them see what happened by working backward and fix the bug).
Also by keeping the last 3 until closing the game will let the player go back by as little as 5 minutes to correct an error that they made or just try something different.
Each time the game saves it can clear the active memory at the same time to let it run faster.
Auto save any time you enter a base/cyclops, but only if it has been at least 10 minutes since the last save.
