NOTE ABOUT SAVING

I have added a function to export and import a file with the string in it. This is an attempt to smooth out the problems with AutoSave that are related to Firebase max writes per day, and cannot be changed unless I upgrade the plan, which costs money and wont be viable unless I am charging something for the game. I am interested to hear of anyone that knows other suitable places I could use as a cloud saving environment that dont have such limitations, but in the meantime I have taken these steps:

• turn off autosave by default so less players will be hitting it at once
• changed the default autosave time to 5 mins to cause less writes
• added a export and import file button functionality to download the save string in a timestamped file to the user computer
• explained all this in the actual game when the user starts playing.

I hope this helps a little.

EDIT:

I have migrated user data to another provider for the save cloud. It works now, but if any save data is lost, please let me know, but it should be pretty smooth. This provider also has limits, so may stop working in the future, where I will have to look at paid options. I would appreciate feedback. Contact details in the Cosmicopedia in the Settings Tab.
