Xbox Auto Save Stupid question ahoy!

[Magic Peanut]

I know what you're thinking "hey, there are no stupid questions here my friend!" Well, I think you're about to find out that there are.

How do I save the game on Xbox?

Hi Peanut,

The game auto saves everytime you enter a cabin or sleep.

But remember, if you die in the game its permadeth and your save game gets deleted.

Thanks Brad and nicko.

It will also auto save when injured too

(and yes, as the others have said - it wasn't a stupid question)

Welcome to the forum 8-)

Considering the game doesn't save when you quit and it's not all that clear when it does save (most people don't notice when the game says it saved) it's not a stupid question at all. And you're not the first to ask it either, although you are the first to ask it specifically for the XBox I think

Aside from the aforementioned sleeping, going inside and being injured, there's also:

getting food poisoning/ getting dysentery and I think the game also saves when you fall through the ice. And of course when you're attacked by wildlife, but that falls into the category of being injured.

I think you've gotten the gist of it here, but just so this is totally clear for anyone else that happens along:

The game will save when you rest, enter/exit a structure, or whenever your condition changes (injury, freezing, starving, and so forth). It will, as others have mentioned, also save when you die, forcing you to start a new game.

The game saves when freezing/ starving etc? Is this new(ish)? I have never noticed this before.

It's been this way for a while, I think. Prevents players from simply loading an old save when they sprain their ankle, get food poisoning...The fun stuff, you know.
