Turn it on before you lose hours of progress.
Good tip. Lost a 10k city to this when I first tried it because of a crash.
After that I set it to 10 auto saves once every ten minutes.
Too late, learned the hard way; lost my first 6 hours after a crash. Probably also the first game that I can think of in this genre that comes with autosave disabled as default. The game is nice, but sometimes feels a bit like a full price early access title.
Disabling autosave by default ist as mind-boggling as enabling various graphic settings by default that don’t work well on 99% of PC Systems. Who made those decisions?

That’s what most games nowadays are, let’s be real here.
I’ve been experiencing occasional crashes so not only has autosave bailed me out a few times but I got into the habit of religiously manually saving after doing major changes too.
It’s kinda immersion breaking to save manually a lot but better than losing stuff to a crash.
