Automate your save backuping shenanigans with power of Rust
You can download the app in releases tab.
If you're using a different folder for saves then you need to open command prompt/powershell/...younameit in directory with the app and run the program with arguments, e.g.
This is a program I've called easy_savescum. It does nothing special: it monitors your save directory and backup save files time to time. It doesn't have any fancy overlays or addition functionality like force making a save. Just a little tool in Unix philosophy style. Directory to monitor is configurable although it's set by default on your local save folder. Frequency is also configurable, by default it's 4 save ticks which means "yearly". It can also be dynamically changed if you're at important war and want to have more frequent saves or you don't like to feel like a cheater so you set it to 50 years so you won't fuck up in strategic terms, but you can afford tactical failures.
