Quicksaver

Adds quicksave and quickload to the game


**Please Read** 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 for editing the save file ****


I have a frequent saving addiction, so to avoid the extra time spent manually saving through the menu I added a quicksave (and quickload) function to the game. By default these are bound to F9 for quicksave and unbound for quickload (due to new keybindings introduced in B18), 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.


Adding to pre-existing saves:

- 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!
