How to Save Your Game in Starsand Island

by

Saving your progress is crucial in any game, but especially in Starsand Island. Learning how to save correctly will prevent you from having to repeat quests or daily tasks.

This guide will explain how Starsand Island saves your progress, both automatically and manually, so you can avoid losing work and repeating tasks.

How to Manually Save Your Game in Starsand Island

In Starsand Island, you can save your progress by opening the game menu with the Escape key. The manual save option is the second button from the top of the menu. Simply click it to save your game.

Okay, so to make sure my game saved, I just need to glance at the bottom right of the screen. I’m looking for a little saving icon to pop up, and then it’ll say ‘autosaved’ when it’s all done. That’s how I know everything’s safe!

How to Roll Back to a Previous Save in Starsand Island

If you’re not happy with how your day went in Starsand Island, you can go back to a previous save. Just press the Escape key to open the menu and select “Rollback to Previous Save.” Then, choose the save file you want to load.

If you’re considering resetting or going back to an earlier point in your game, here are a few important things to remember.

  • Players who perform a rollback will lose all the progress made after the save they rolled back to. You will not be able to return to your current save.
    • The deleted data will include gathered materials and quest progress.
  • The rollback feature will allow players to go back seven days in the past at most.
    • Returning to several days in the past will delete every save made after the chosen day.

Be careful to check the dates on each rollback option. It’s important to know which save is the newest and which is the oldest, so you don’t lose more of your work than you mean to.

How to Set Up Auto-Saves in Starsand Island

Auto-save prevents you from losing your game progress in Starsand Island. You can customize how often the game saves by opening the in-game phone (press Tab) and going to the Settings app. Inside Settings, select the Games tab – it’s marked with two connecting gears.

You can find the auto-save settings at the bottom of the Game settings. To change how often your game saves, tap the yellow arrow to the right of the Auto-Save Interval bar.

An auto-save will be triggered when players sleep in a bed, return to the main menu, or exit the game.
