🛠️ QUICK ENHANCEMENTS

Add Auto-Save:

In GameScene.update():

// Auto-save every 5 minutes
if (!this.lastSaveTime) this.lastSaveTime = Date.now();

if (Date.now() - this.lastSaveTime > 300000) {
    if (this.saveSystem) {
        this.saveSystem.saveGame();
        this.lastSaveTime = Date.now();
        console.log('💾 Auto-save complete');
    }
}

Add Multiple Slots:

Modify SaveSystem:

saveToSlot(slot) {
    const key = `novafarma_save_${slot}`;
    // ... save logic ...
    localStorage.setItem(key, JSON.stringify(saveData));
}

loadFromSlot(slot) {
    const key = `novafarma_save_${slot}`;
    const data = localStorage.getItem(key);
    // ... load logic ...
}

🎮 CURRENT USAGE

Save Game:

// F5 key (already set up)
gameScene.saveSystem.saveGame();

Load Game:

// F9 key (already set up)
gameScene.saveSystem.loadGame();

💡 RECOMMENDATION

Keep existing system for now!

Why:

1. ✅ Already works
2. ✅ Already integrated
3. ✅ F5/F9 keys functional
4. ⏳ Can enhance later

Focus on:

• Testing current save/load
• Verify all systems save correctly
• Add auto-save (5 min interval)
• Polish Phase 4 & 5 instead
