I know that there is something called SaveInstance, but since it's deprecated I was wondering how I would do it. Is there any other way than to save a bunch of values? Roblox, Python, Swift, HTML, CSS, JavaScript & Java

Yeah, as chimmihc linked, using tables is your best option with DataStores. But you can't save instances with it; you can only save basic datatypes. In order to do so, you will have to "serialize" your instances, which is a process of translating an object into something that can be saved and later reloaded.

Doesn´t that take a lot of memory?

You can save up to 260k bytes. You'll be alright. Save the properties that will be changed. @crazyman Wondering if you can message me, I'd like to talk about Shooty Ships..
