I have a bunch of values I need saving and loading. Saving isn't a problem because I save them one at a time everytime they change, but loading the values into the game takes ages. I have about 30ish values I need loading in. Is there a better technique I can use?

The problem is your code.

for f, folder in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do if folder:IsA("Folder") then for v, value in pairs(folder:GetChildren()) do value.Value = DataStore:GetAsync(value.Name..id) end end end This is my code. So every value is in a specific folder, this loads up the value.

store it all together so you only use GetAsync once.

Store them in a table when you save them: local t = {} for _, folder in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do if folder:IsA("Folder") then for _, value in pairs(folder:GetChildren()) do t[value.Name] = value.Value end end end dataStore:SetAsync("data", t) Then, when you call GetAsync, you'll get the table back all at once.
