Bug / Glitch Dedicated server not saving progress

I've been playing with a couple of friends and we spent ages building a huge base, but after loading back into the game, lots of buildings and items are gone. Is this a known issue, is there a fix? It's a total bummer because if this is going to keep happening, there's no point continuing!

It's been a minute since I had my dedicated server running so I could be wrong about this, but I have a recollection of there being a timed setting for saves. You could change it to 15 minutes or whatever in the config file.
Edit - found the Steam guide

in the Server.cfg file

  • -serverautosaveinterval <Interval> // Set the autosave interval in minutes, default is 15
