While I love this feature I think it could be further tweaked to be less annoying, as sometimes autosaving can freeze the game for a good while.

- Only autosave if you were moving for X turns. Right now it saves whenever any amount of turns passes (50), such as while reading, eating, etc. Doing grindy stuff like boiling water is a pain if autosave kicks in after each couple of actions.
- Be able to set the amount of turns before autosaving
- Always autosave when changing z level (when entering a cave, lab, etc)
