Hi I like to use the project setting “Save on successful compile”. Is their anyway I can make this turn on by default when I start a new project?

Open up UE\_Folder\Engine\Config\BaseEditorPerProjectUserSettings.ini and add:  
[/Script/BlueprintGraph.BlueprintEditorSettings]  
SaveOnCompile=SoC\_SuccessOnly

This will make it the default option for every new project in that particular engine version.
