I’ve been getting into datastores, and I’m not sure how often I should autosave. How often do you autosave in your game and do you have any tips for datastore saving?
What is the Game about?
Depending on that you can know how often, but usually 5-10 minutes
It’s a game about Crystal Powers. You mine crystals and it saves to your backpack.
Personally, just save players data once they leave or if the server shuts down.
If you decide to add an autosave feature to your game, at least don’t forget to save the player’s data once they leave the game or when the server shuts down just to be safe.

I remember a long time ago, when I got a rare item in Tower of Hell, I disconnected and it didn’t save. Will the same thing happen here?
For an Auto Save system, every 60 seconds.
SInce you can only send so many requests per minute, if you want do more

Then I would say every time the Player’s status (money, crystals etc.) changes, and obviously when they leave/server shutdown
