    Hi everyone,
    I haven't played starbound for a lont time and now i've seen that many things are changed ( and the game is really better ).
    But my question is... why all the new characters begin in the same planet that has been already visited by my previous ?
    There's no more the random spawn of all the planet?

    Is the rest of the universe randomly generated?

    they are, and if you got tired of the universe, you can delete or move away the universe/planets file in your starbound folder to force the game to generate a new one.

    The game actually scans around the universe for a system based on criteria. Must have a "garden" biome satellite, must have a desert planet, and must have an ancient gate (Which are in all systems but I expect this to change in the future.

    I spent the better part of yesterday figuring out how the universe is generated.

    All of your characters start in the same planet in the same universe, which means if you've mined the starter planet out of resources you'll have difficulty finding more. Also sucks if you spawn on a reeeeealy small planet like I did.

    I would recommend leaving a bunch of pre-mined core fragments in a crate on your starting world so new characters can find somewhere else in the system to get iron, wood, etc.
