Auto save periodically saves your world data to prevent progress loss from crashes or unexpected shutdowns. You can adjust how frequently these saves occur.
Auto saves can cause brief lag spikes on larger worlds. Consider this when setting very frequent intervals.
Changing Auto Save Interval
- Navigate to the Wabbanode Control Panel and Stop your server.

- Click the Settings tab and select ARK:SE World Settings.

- Locate Auto Save Period and enter your desired interval in minutes.

- Click Save and Start your server.
Recommendations
| Interval | Best For |
|---|---|
| 5-10 minutes | High activity servers, minimal data loss |
| 15 minutes (default) | Balanced for most servers |
| 30+ minutes | Low activity servers, reduced disk writes |
Your server will now automatically save at the specified interval.
