Smart Save
Switch: F1 → 0 - Sub-mods → Smart Save (on by default).
Valheim autosaves every 30 minutes, wherever you are, and on a big world that freezes the game for a moment. Smart Save keeps the interval but waits for a quiet moment.
Features
- Saves right away while the inventory, map or a menu is open, while sitting or in bed, or after standing still for a few seconds with no creature chasing you.
- Never saves in the middle of a fight, while running or while sailing.
- Never more than a few minutes late (configurable), so no progress is at risk.
- Adjustable save interval and an optional "Autosaving..." message.
Notes
- The host's game decides when the world is saved, so the host needs this mod.
Settings (F1)
In F1 these are under Smart Save - ..., below the switches.
General
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Wait for a quiet moment | on | When the autosave is due, wait until you are not fighting, running or sailing. Off = save on the dot, like normal. |
| Save every (minutes) | 30 | How often the world is saved. Normal is 30. (range 5 to 120) |
| Wait at most (minutes) | 5 | If no quiet moment comes, save anyway after this long, so no progress is at risk. (range 1 to 30) |
| Standing still counts after (s) | 3 | Standing still this long (with no creature chasing you) counts as a quiet moment. (range 1 to 30) |
| Show save message | on | Show "Autosaving..." in the top left corner when the autosave starts. |
