Space Engineers

Check Space Engineers saving before a long session

Enable Saving and Auto Save Interval control whether and how often the world is saved. A running server is not proof that progress is being persisted.

Make the change

  1. Stop and back up config, including its Saves directory.
  2. In Startup, confirm Enable Saving is true and review Auto Save Interval, which is expressed in minutes by this configuration.
  3. Keep the existing world selection and LoadWorld path unchanged.
  4. Start, join and make a small recognizable change in a safe test area.
  5. Wait for a save, stop normally, start again and check that the change remains.

Check the result

If progress disappears, keep the logs and confirm the server loaded the same Sandbox.sbc. Do not overwrite the world with a blank template to repair a saving problem.
