Is there a way to make the settings (what automated formers can do, for instant) persistent between games? It seems like every time I start a new game I have to spend 10-20 minutes redoing all of my settings.

Also, is there a way to make customized vehicles persistent between games as well?

It always remembers the settings for me?.... i cannot actually remember but presumably there must be a setting somewhere for that?

As for saving designs... well, i never do that because different technology comes at different times in each game.... and i have to obsolete all the old designs otherwise they drive me insane getting in the way.

Now the game does not allow designs for things if you don't have the technology,,, so i guess it would crash the game if you tried carrying designs to a new game?
