What about wipes in the future...

Hello guys.
I'm going to create a system of colonies on many planets. It takes a lot of my time and resources. I am concerned, are not expected any more wipes the universe in the future? Or the universe and my colony is now forever remain unchanged after the release?

Another question. Is there a way to recover their colony from previous updates. If you already play in the release version of the universe?

thanks

 

At the 1.0 release, they promised to not do any more wipes. BUT! With the new villages and stuff that is in the Unstable(Nightly), you'll probably end up wanting to reset your planets/world when that content is patched into the vanilla.

 

Thanks for the answer.
Lose the character is not as critical, sometimes useful to start a new story.
But to lose all that for so long and persistently built it would be catastrophic. It's a waste of time. I hope the developers will provide for an opportunity to save the worlds, even in the case of critical updates.
Either leave to return to the old universe.

I would have flew on one of my old giraffe planets. But, unfortunately, replace .world files in a storage folder does not help (((

 

Devs promised there will be no further wipes after the game has reached 1.0, so I hope they'll keep their word.

 

they will unless they implement something big like 2.0 version of some sort

 

You don't need to wipe your planet data to see the new villages. You just need to visit planets you haven't visited before. That's the beauty of procedural generation.

The only planets that actually exist in your game right now are the ones you've visited. When CF do things like add villages or sub-biomes or dungeons are whatever via updates, those changes are added to the mix of planets not yet made (which happens when you visit them)... and that's a mix of several quintillion planets.

You'll be fine.

 

Curious, what counts as generated? Or more specifically, at what point does the game "finalize" the generation of the planet?

I.e. There's the "processing" when you enter coordinates, entering the star, and them the actual physical landing/loading of the planet.

 

And apparently music is stored somehow too, annoyingly, as I have learned from others in my music issues threads. (Having music addition mod issues, either they're not working or I'm just impatient waiting for the new songs to kick in.) Hence why I asked about generation.

 

I have worried about this!

So what you're saying is that there is no risk of, say, a Novakid Settlement replacing the colony or farm that I built on a planet of mine, once those get added to the game. The new content that is added to the game will only appear on planets that haven't been visited yet.

Right?

 

unless you delete the worldfile
