Quicksaver
Description
Adds a quicksave and quickload feature to the game.
I have a frequent saving addiction, so to avoid the extra time spent manually saving through the menu I added these to the game. By default these are bound to F8 for quicksave and F9 for quickload, you can rebind them from the Options Menu > Keyboard Configuration > In-game global section.
When the quicksave key is pressed it will save your current game to a save labelled "Quicksave", subsequently the quickload key will load from the same save file name. For permadeath mode it will instead save as whatever your current permadeath save file name is, i.e. "ColonyName (Permadeath)". I have also disabled the quickload function for permadeath game modes.
Compatibility
This mod is a custom MapComponent so it should be compatible with any other mods.
Note that since this is a custom MapComponent it will not work on any pre-existing saves without editing your save file, new saves will work fine. I've added instructions at the bottom of my post for editing the save file.

How to install
- Unzip the archive and place the "Quicksaver" folder within your RimWorld/Mods folder wherever you have Rimworld installed.
- Activate the mod in the mod menu in the game.
- For pre-existing saves navigate to your save folder, usually [C:\Users\*YourUserNameHere*\AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld\Saves\], and open your save with a text editor.
- Search for the keyword "components" and you should see something similar to the following:
--------------------
<components>
<li Class="BreakdownManager" />
<li Class="ExplosionManager">
<explosions />
</li>
</components>
--------------------
- You now want to add this line "<li Class="Quicksaver.MapComponent_Quicksave" />" (minus the quotations) to the list, the end result will look like this:
--------------------
<components>
<li Class="BreakdownManager" />
<li Class="ExplosionManager">
<explosions />
</li>
<li Class="Quicksaver.MapComponent_Quicksave" />
</components>
--------------------
- Now save the file and you should be good to go!
