I made a bugfree mod that includes no permanent death and manual save, compatible with all expansions, here:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3524680230
I made sure to prevent issues with seasons and time.

只要是回档mod，在死亡瞬间如果存档就会毁档，给个点数吧谢谢

after 50 days it was unable to load the save and i lost it ......

So buggy, stay away from this one. Had a 3 year long world, went into ruins and died, tried loading and world generated an extra cave level.
So instead of surface -> caves -> ruins.
Surface -> caves -> CAVES -> ruins.
It was a ruins run I was doing to use all my gems. So my 20 green, orange, yellow, krampus sack and other items. Gone.

As of 26/2/22 reloading the save by F9 on SW makes tidal pools bug out and become invisible/dissapear. They come back if you quit to the main menu and reload the save but it's still annoying.

跳天数是游戏本身就存在的bug，我没装此mod，在火山准备献祭慢了，被砸死，快速Alt+f4，重进游戏在火山变成第一天了。在巨人国洞穴也会出现这种情况，估计此bug是洞穴与地面、火山与海面是两个世界计时机制有关

哈哈踏雪过来的

这踏雪寻梅也是真不干人事啊推荐这mod，试了一上午就是你这怨种mod

垃圾

为啥回档成为1天

存在季节BUG 游戏中都23天了 还在秋季

在游戏中，F4（保存）或F9（加载）。好好享受吧

切记，刚穿到哈姆雷特，不要按f9，不然档直接回到第一天！！！！！！！！！！！！我120天的档就这样没了！！（哭）

nice

Press F9, my game starts from the first day

so good!

我打过好几个季节了，但有一次有bug。按f9直接给我传送到1.1，大家千万别用，垃圾mod

在游戏中，F4（保存）或F9（加载）。好好享受吧！

I pressed F9 during Wilson's death, also coincidently between the chancing from day to night, and the loading process finally comes out as a result of 'talker.lua' default.
Even after I cut and stick the lua document, that bug still exists.
I wonder if there is any other way that can help with the situation?
Thank you so much for bringing us so good a mod :D

It doesn't working very well. When i'm dead, i press f9 immediately but it starts me from the touch stone! Even my death animation wasn't over, i'm quickly press F9 but it start me from touch stone, again and again. I think we never activate the touch stones if we want to use this mod correctly. I was 212 day but all is lost! what can i do now?

what i can offer now, as part of the community, until the author finds an opportunity to fix bug with reseting default starting season (for DST it's as autumn/spring): in a singleplayer game, you will need to go down in the dangeon twice every time - go down, go up and only then go down to explore, calmly using quick save/loading

Does it work with Don't Starve Together? Thinking of playing it with a friend.

不错的

Press F9, my game starts from the first day

Is there a Don't Starve Together version?

Interresting, but don't allows to load save after character death.

Thanks, It works on Hamlet <3

good mod, but i don't know why i have to press Fn+F4, maybe it is because of computer type

@Daeminos Theoretically yep, you can just try it!

does this work for dont starve together?

Dear author, can you do the download after death? Thanks.

Can you prevent the system auto-save?

thank you ：D

@Loscil You r welcome~

Fantastic mod, thank you.

@Kitty Folien Actually, you can just Google "How can I use F4 on my MacBookPro"

Hey, how do I save in Mac? You solved the problem 1 year ago, but I have forgoten what the key is. Sorry for asking again but it's been a lot since I don't play the game.

Is there any way to disable auto saving so that the manual save doesn't get overwritten by it?

I'm now using this mod in combination with "save slot mod" (dying does not erase your save.) This does everything I want.

Is it supposed to allow for reloading after death? I tried saving, charging a monster, hitting reload as Wilson fell to the ground, and it started me over with a new world.

@Mirakuru Actually, you can modify file modmain.lua in folder
D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\dont_starve\mods\workshop-664185844
(if you are using windows).
Just change "key == GLOBAL.KEY_F4" or "key == GLOBAL.KEY_F9".

It's can be rebinding?

Thanks a lot! It works perfectly now on Mac.

Updated!
Solved @voyager156 and @Kitty Folien issues.

There's not "F5" in Mac, so how do mac users shall use this mod then? I just can't.

Thanks

ty

You can easily change the keys by modifying modmain.lua in Steam/steamapps/common/dont_starve/mods/workshop-664185844

The load button should be F9 (F6 is next to F5, and there is high chance of pressing the wrong button).

Sometimes when reloading with F6 left clicking things does not pick them up. Usually have to restart game to get it to work right.
