On server restart or before kick save progress

I had this happen to me multiple times.(not when the server restart is announced but when randomly it kicks you out I would assume the servers just die). My proposition is to save the player's progress more often like every 1-3 minutes (smaller the better) this way if a server dies you dont lose a trial of chaos thats almost finished or like a rare unique map you just found. The data stored in the db should not increase that much you can just overwrite the state for each person. I think this is feasable and a lot of people wil be happy not to lose progress on important things.
