== Autosaves ==
Autosaves are saves which are created automatically by the game at certain time points, without requiring input from the player. They are an important backup in the event a world is accidentally deleted, lost, or overwritten by a new world.

Generally, autosaves are created in the following situations:

* Autosaves are created every '''5 minutes''' while you are playing a world.
* An autosave is created for the previous world when you load a new world. 

The number of autosaves possible is limited:

* There are a total of '''30 autosave slots.''' If the save slots are full, when a new autosave is created, the earliest autosave will be deleted.
* Each world can have a maximum of '''5 autosaves'''. If a world's autosaves exceeds 5, the world's earliest autosave will be deleted. 

Autosaves may also be disabled if your device is running low on memory. 

While these are general rules on how autosaves work, it may not always work as intended, and an autosave may fail to trigger. In order to be safe, always make sure to save your worlds manually.
