    If you open your player file (just in a plain text editor) and change "SBPFV1" to "SBPFV1.1" you can get the character itself and its items (at least most of them) but the ship gets wiped to default.

    as of writing this, editing items wont do anything. What was the name of your save file? I'll take a look at it and see what I can do.

    Tracked this error down, should be better!

    Since some morons thought theire way of doing something is the only valid way.
    Its pointless to try to understand further, they arent that inteligent anyway.

    Do you not understand the level of entitlement it takes to enter an agreement, and ask other people to spend their time to prevent you from having to hold up your end?

    This is a beta. For beta testing. Everyone was asked to accept that things will change and characters will be lost.

    Everyone should be making new characters for testing anytime they change early game stuff.

    I have seen your Starreader editor....It is quite cool and simple but it's hard to find the item names because instead of using the normal item names like Chest it will be monkchest...Its awkward because I dont know where to find all of the names like that...

    Has nobody yet thought of joining the game with a friend and giving that friend all of your items which you wish start with, then exit the game and create a new character log back into the server and get your items back. This is the method I use because it allows me to fast track all the crafting stations and my gear and wep's while still being able to take part in testing the changes to sectors because starting a new character will clear all of your sectors.


    Edit

    Will just like to add yes I have used the Creativemode mods but most of them unlock hidden items or everything and I don't want that, if I want to get items I only want to unlock what I choose not have it unlock a whole heap of vanilla recipes I have not personally found yet.

    Using the above method I dont have to worry about this I can print anything I have found and recover all of that stuff back on a brand spanking new character.

    I was using that mod, but my biggest gripe with it was that it unlocked everything and anything even if I did not want them it would unlock hidden recipes or ALLrecipes just by using the spawnerbox when really I just wanted to spawn certain blocks and leave everything else vanilla that part about it gave me the royal shits so I moved to a different mod which does not any of this and instead has a usable tech to unlock recipes and a box which has all items but does not add any of those items to the vanilla crafting items this mod suited me better as it allowed me to unlock the tech I had and pixels and ores and stages of crafting and sectors but not unlock ANYTHING else I did not explicity ask for it to unlock.

    The creative mod was good in theory but is let down by the fact the designer choose to use simple shortcuts on the boxes to unlock everything instead of manually adding all the items in the game into a box and you only took out what you wanted and only clicked on the stuff you wanted to unlock. I don't understand his logic behind why it was done the way he did it or she designed it because some of the unlock items ran on a recipe which added a bunch of things which was used to unlock all tech for example and individual tech was placed separate from that item into the same box. The same was done for the ores and other crafted items but why did this box unlock all the crafting recipes including the hidden ones and non functional I know it came with a warning but frankly that is just lazy design,.

    So I begin to rewrite that mod how I wanted it for personal use and added individual everything as separate item recipes and no shortcuts such as using one liner unlock code for crafted items as an example... What I ended up with was a spawner box with every item in the game added via a recipe which gave you only 1x that item, The same thing was done for the printer I added the printable items manually and removed any hidden or non functional item recipes. I split the spawner box into 3 parts, Ores, printable and building materials.
