Game progress is lost after server restart

I update my steamcmd today and my game save is rolled back to the last time the server was started. Strangely enough, my in-game technology was kept up to date.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. ``docker restart container_id'' to restart the server
2. connect to the server

Expected behavior

Go back to the game progress before restarting the server.

I do not change anything, and build the docker with this command: "docker build --tag pal_server"

Did you mounted a volume to the container?

This is because the game appears to constantly save player data but periodically (Not sure how often) save world data.

This was fixed by #98 if rcon is enabled. Otherwise you have to run the save command manually. If you do not have rcon enabled I recommend stopping the server (and container) by issuing the save command the shutdown command in game. That merge is in version 0.14.0.

Note currently backups do not run the save command, I added a fix in #118.

thank you so much, I can not reproduce this issue, but I will use the save command in the game.
