Anyone else get wiped twice with the new patch?

    Just opened up Starbound this morning eager to jump back into the character I started last night and he's gone. :(
    Save files are still there but inaccessible. Anyone else have this issue, or any ideas how to get him back?
    TO CLARIFY: I know the wipe happened yesterday, I was expecting that one, this one happened afterwards, during Furious Koala.

    if you crashed or anything then the save could be corrupted. Otherwise not sure. I started a character right after the patch and so far it's still here.

    Any recovery options at this point if that's the case?

    I played all day yesterday. Now I started Steam to find it is updating Starbound AGAIN?! Does this mean my character will be gone after it, too?

    Not sure but let me know! I didn't crash out when I closed last night so I have to assume that this second hotfix is somehow the cause.

    It will take some time before the download is complete. I will write again what happened.

    Well, I noticed a universe "wipe" after the hotfix, the character and ship was intact though.

    Ok, I am back in the game. Everything is still there: Character, Ship and my starter planet with my stuff down there. The only difference is that the local creatures look completely different than yesterday. Hopefully Steam won't update every time I start it now...

    Damn. I mean good for but damn that my error is apparently unique. Guess all yesterdays grinding was a waste. :(

    I did have a burn crossbow! :( It was all the decorative stuff, the instruments and the house and that. Its too easy to get invested in a character.

    Always wipe twice, once is rarely enough.

    I did a backup of my gamefiles last night after seeing a couple people with this issue. I logged in immediately after and everything appeared normal.. I hope when I get home tonight everything isn't gone again

    There's also another mod for this kind of thing but i don't see them advertising.

    OT: Wipe twice, rage once. Then start over again with the thrill of ADVENTUUURE! :V

    Ah, I'm glad it's not just me then.

    I guess this is the fix for the stuttering that Tiy was talking about, and it's just affected a few people a little differently.

    Sadly my home planet now has blood-vomiting birds where before they just dive bombed, and all the saplings I had planted disappeared. I think I might have to move...

    I had all the monsters on my planet change but aside from that everything else was the same. It was really eerie.

    I saw this thread and decided to make a backup. That was a good idea, because the game crashed and when I played again the universe was wiped.

    I restored the backup but the monsters changed.
