Saltmire Save Lite persists game state in a single call — no FileAccess plumbing, no JSON wiring, no boilerplate.

Save.write("slot1", {"hp": 80, "level": 3})   # save
var d = Save.read("slot1")                     # load (null if it doesn't exist)

API

• Save.write(slot, data) — write a Dictionary/Array/primitive. Returns true on success.
• Save.read(slot) — returns the data, or null if missing/unreadable (never crashes).
• Save.has(slot) / Save.erase(slot) / Save.list_slots() — for a load-game menu.
• Save.autosave(slot, cb, interval) — call cb every interval seconds and save it.
• Save.stats() — { writes, last_bytes, slots }, measurable not promised.

Signals: saved(slot), loaded(slot). Saves live in user://saltmire_saves/.

Verified, not promised. The repo ships a headless selftest (selftest.gd) that asserts the round-trip, missing-slot safety, list_slots, erase and the stats() counters — it prints SELFTEST PASS. Run: godot --headless --script selftest.gd.

Features

• Drop-in autoload — enable the plugin and the Save singleton is ready.
• Zero dependencies, one small file, MIT.
• Safe reads — a missing or unreadable slot returns null, no crash.
