webfort-level autosaves?

[Alloyed]

so quicksaving itself isn't too hard, and I think it'd be nice to have webfort manage its own saves so nobody needs to be around to babysit it. The question is, when to save?

• At the beginning of players turns, to act as a safety net for bad decisions? (nofun.jpg)
• If the game has been idle for a bit, so nobody has to wait through saves?
• Other times?
• A combination?

While it would be nice to save before each turn, the time it takes to complete the save makes it impractical. Even with SSDs, the delay is annoyingly long.

I think a mixture of a few times would be best: At start of fort (Embark), Seasonally, on idle of 15 minutes, and on admin demand.

This might be a bit overkill, but I think it makes a good match of ensuring history is recorded accurately even when an admin isn't active 24/7, and preventing player annoyance.

This sounds good in my head - thoughts?
