All ModBehaviours have the SaveSetting and LoadSetting method to save data globally. Note that SaveSetting takes a string, but LoadSetting is generic and will try to convert the string to the data type you specify. So to save an integer you can use SaveSetting("Integer", value.ToString()) and LoadSetting<int>("Integer") to load it again.

All ModBehaviours have the ''SaveSetting'' and LoadSetting method to save data globally. Note that SaveSetting takes a string, but LoadSetting is generic and will try to convert the string to the data type you specify. So to save an integer you can use SaveSetting("Integer", value.ToString()) and LoadSetting<int>("Integer") to load it again.

You can also save data to the player's save file, to keep settings per save, by overriding ModMeta's Serialize and Deserialize methods. These use a WriteDictionary, which is just a dictionary of whatever you want, and the game will handle turning it into bits. Please note that any custom classes saved using this method **has** to have an empty constructor. When you want to save data, create a WriteDictionary and populate it with values, this will then be returned when a save is loaded in the Deserialize method. There is also a LoadMode parameter, which tells you whether it was a full save, a build mode save or a company save (Usually used when the player is moving to another map or during multiplayer synchronization), which will allow you to only save data needed for each type. E.g. you probably don't have to save player preferences for a build mode save.
