Quicksaves are written to _autosave-quick1, _autosave-quick2 and _autosave-quick3, and then start again at 1, overwriting the oldest. This is the same rotation the built-in autosave uses.

Settings

All settings are under Settings → Mod settings → Map.

• Quicksave name: adds a name to the save files, which become _autosave-quick-<name><nr>. Most useful with Use different mod settings per save turned on in Settings → Other, so each save gets its own quicksave files.
• Maximal number of quicksaves: how many slots to rotate through before overwriting the first one again. Default 3.
• Unlimited quicksaves: never overwrite. Every quicksave gets a new number.

The key can be changed under Settings → Controls → Mods.

Multiplayer

Only admins can quicksave. The save is written on the server, like a normal autosave.
