When continue hosting on linux/mac autoenable pause-less save featue

[Defective_Soul]

tl;dr - save non-blocking feature satus for continue-hosting
wut - Hi devs & forum, currently i get a littl "iusse" while using fast-continue feature - if i continue host game, then non-blocking saving is disabled default, so i had to re-host game via multiplaye>load save>play
So... could you pleause add in "others" setting something like "prefer hosting with non-block feaure" or somethhing like it ?

why - so i could just fast continue host game for myself & my friend w/o need to do exta clicks / get a little mad about whole game pausing while online and then just reruning host with reenabled feature

1) there is a hidden option for the very this thing already

click me to know how

1) first make a backup of your desktop kappa. just a config.ini backup prob fine if you want to touch some other params.
2) go to the main menu (the one with SP/MP/continue options)
3) hold ctrl+alt and click settings button.
4) the bottom one "the-rest"
5) top right there is a search bar, to activate press CTRL+F (or) "click it" to focus over
6) type in "saving"
7) the only option left down in the panel is the non-blocking-saving. Tick it on.
8) green confirm button in the bottom of the window
9) rejoice, you have "prefer non-pausing save" enabled.
10) un-tick the said box back on the first problem to arrive (may wait centuries, really)

as a bonus, you can play around with "interface settings" group' options to feel old :>
Those are somewhat harmless.
max-map-preview-chunk-side allows you to make a map-preview smaller, for "no-spoil" or 'fast re-roll render' reasons. Sometimes also fun.
This concludes the tweak.
((You can also do this via config.ini, but you need to stop the game, edit .ini and then start the game... longer, harder, etc))

2) this feature is HIGHLY experimental. (and not so much supported any further than "AS IS")
EXPECT some ISSUES! (RAM consumption is the least of them).

Well, should be fine, if you are sure you are doing great, just go on.
Just keep a "backup save" done normally every 2-4 hrs or so (should anything happen) and be good.


3) with 3 in mind, be aware most problems/issues (bug reports) related to saving (should any happen) would be invalid (out of scope).
You would likely be asked to disable the feature, THE VERY REASON IT BEING HIDDEN and off by default.


Still starting a server by hand? AND you have a gui-rich linux/mac box and still do it by hand? Joking of cause, don't you mind me.
Cheers,
and good luck in your automation journey!
