saving the game.

Hi everyone, I want to manually say my game. When I decide to experiment with different things, if it doesn't work out I want to go back to where I just saved. it seems that the game is on auto save every half an hour or so which means if I don't like something I've tried I can't go back to where I was immediately before I tried. Is it possible to do a manual save, as I don't want to be continually starting the game again from the start or from way back in the game.

Just log out will set an auto save.
Eitherway it autosaves now every 20 minutes
You can also save Valheim progress using console commands.
To do so, press F5, type 'save' and press enter. This will save your game, allowing you to keep playing right away.

Only way is to manually back up your world and data files. Then restore them if required.

That solution is probably easier to manage if you run a private stand-alone server and make use of server backup/restore mods.
