About this mod
S.O.L. aims to give BT a rogue-like experience. It will auto-save during the campaign and in combat and disallow
loading. No save-scumming, no "ah let's try to get those reinforcements too", and maybe even "run awaaaay!"
from time to time.

Well, look no further! No seriously, you still here? You don't want this mod!
This is crazy-ass "Hey let's use a mod that messes with save files in a bug-ridden game and a month-old
modding community, Yeah! Whoop Whoop!"

- Autosaves in simgame left unchanged, deletes saves over 4
- Saving forced on quit to menu or quit game
- No loading or saving, only continue, existing saves are not shown in-game
Big Fat Disclaimer
I wasn't kidding about BT still having a lot of bugs, and the modding community being fresh and still learning / deciding how
to handle dependencies and conflicts between mods, or decide on best practices for modding.
So maybe it's not a good idea to disable saving and loading, your game can and probably will break at some point and your
saves will be gone! Oh and did I forget to mention this is my first mod, ever, written in C#, a new language to me.

Special thanks
As mentioned, this is my first step into modding, and I want to thank some people for showing me the ropes and supporting me during
the creation of this mod.
- Morphyum, first pro I ran into and very helpful to get me started, thanks for letting me steal many lines of code ;p
- LadyAlekto, seeing the amount of work you (and Morph) put in to [RogueTech](https://www.nexusmods.com/battletech/mods/79) was inspiring, and
the encouragement really helped getting into it!
- JF, ah JF, had many a chat about everything and absolutely nothing, good for winding down and rubber-ducking, love ya man!
- And everyone on the BattleTechGame Discord, it's great to be part of the community and I'm excited to see how
far we'll take this!
