I was in the middle of editing a script that took 30 mins to write and then... ROBLOX CRASHED! OMG! See! We need it! Like in Word how it auto saves documents? So you can recover them in case of a crash! -I'm in your browser dumpin' your cookies-

You could save it yourself. I do... Well that would be hard to make as it would have to save on your computer, and you have to allow roblox to take up more memory and then your computer would be slower!

So you can recover them in case of a crash! -I'm in your browser dumpin' your cookies-" -- Word uses .TMP files and saves them automaticly in a temporary folder incase the need to be used again. Word deletes tehm periodicly and you can delete them manually with Disk Cleanup. .TMP files user very low hard drive space to take up. So as I see it, it woudl be good for ROBLOX to set that out there. Of course it would need a few optiosn like how often to save it (So it doesn't run up your RAM), how detailed the file should be (Large detail = less coruption but more space), and of course if it should even do it.

Hard drive space is only sued for pageing files. Which is used incase you run out of RAM. Needless to say, unless you have a soild state drive (SSD), then the pageing files would be MUCH SLOWER than the RAM. In any case hard-drive space isn't a major contributer to the speed of your computer past how fast it can write data. RAM on the otherhand is needed to make operations and such. Liek the processor and other parts. But writing a file would take very minimal RAM. So this is a non-issue.
