Datastores don't save player data when a server shuts down. Any way to fix this?

Make it save every 10 seconds.

The best route, I believe, would probably be using OnClose. OnClose is a callback which prolongs the server shutdown (by up to 30 seconds), giving you time to finish (or do) any saving which needs to be done. Doing it incrementally, as suggested by Fangous, wouldn't really be the best route.
