Smoke Break - Inactivity Timeout & Last Turn Auto Save

Post by buzman »

Hi, and thanks for fixing the global warming catastrophe crash.

Kinda miss it. Maybe you could add a comet impact scenario where we have to dig underground and live under the sea....ha ha

Just wondering if you could do something about the inactivity timeout.

I'm running on a chromebook, with the latest Chrome OS.

If I take a smoke break, or switch to another tab for a while, the game times out, and I must reload, when I return.

If I forget to save my game play, I must revert to my last save, which may have been a while ago. Yikes!

I'm somewhat trained to save, now, but I was wondering if you could add a couple of features/improvements:

1) Increase the inactivity timeout.
2) Create an auto save for the last turn. This would be a default "Last Turn" save that gets overwritten every time the save button is pressed. If the game times-out, or crashes, no problem, just load the "Last Turn" autosave.

Thanks,

-Buz
