Auto-Shutdown Feature
Automatically stop your Game Save when no one is playing to save 60-80% on costs. Your server starts back up instantly when you want to continue your build.
The Auto-Shutdown feature monitors player connections and automatically shuts down your Game Save when no one is playing. When you want to play again, just click "Start" and you're back working on your build within minutes.
