Too late, learned the hard way; lost my first 6 hours after a crash. Probably also the first game that I can think of in this genre that comes with autosave disabled as default. The game is nice, but sometimes feels a bit like a full price early access title.

Disabling autosave by default ist as mind-boggling as enabling various graphic settings by default that don't work well on 99% of PC Systems. Who made those decisions?
full price early access title
That's what most games nowadays are, let's be real here.
I lost basically my entire 16hr city today. Oh well, c'est la vie. It was my first city and I learned a lot so onto my second.
Good tip. Lost a 10k city to this when I first tried it because of a crash.
After that I set it to 10 auto saves once every ten minutes.
I've been experiencing occasional crashes so not only has autosave bailed me out a few times but I got into the habit of religiously manually saving after doing major changes too.
It's kinda immersion breaking to save manually a lot but better than losing stuff to a crash.
Sounds like we’ve all learned this the hard way. In my case, I was actively playing the game when my wife accidentally pushed the “going to sleep” button on her bedside remote. That script, among other things, hibernates our computers. I learned that CS2 doesn’t do well being hibernated and the game crashed on me when I woke the computer back up.
