    First off , i know my character and two other files are located at : Steam > SteamAps > Common > Starbound > Player

    My problem is when deleting those 3 files from the folder, i apparantly arent deleting the world save (I noticed that when i started on a new game and wanted to raid a USCM base, which i raided on my last savegame)

    Apparently said base is as dead as a graveyard, even though i deleted the character file and started from scratch.

    Any clues to this ?


    Thanks in advance

    would it be here?: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Starbound\universe

    If you want to delete a specific world, look under the folder Omegnarok for the .world file for that said world. The name for the world file will be somewhat like this: "<sector>_<x coord>_<y coord>_<idk what>.world", you just find your world's coords, search for that file and hit delete.

    I'm not sure if that might cause errors or bugs, but that's how it's done atm...

    Deleting .world files deletes the world.
    The server will regen them. Works fine.

    So the answer to the question is deleting all *.World files from Universe folder ? Thanks for all the replies! I will try that out and hopefully get a 100% fresh start

    For a FULL self-wipe : you wipe your face with a cloth You delete the Player and the Universe folders. That's it.

    Delete everything in the universe folder to clear all worlds. It's that simple.

    Just tried deleting Everything in the Universe folder (All files, including *.World files)

    Doing that also deletes the patch, as i needed to patch up again..

    I deleted those files multiple times and had no issues.
    There was another another patch, that is why :p.

    Yeah, i just noticed that.. (Silly me, but quite the timing though.. Having me confused by patching after deleting that folder)

    so its safe to delete all the files inside universe? including Data Base Files?

    I am unsure, I would imagine you would leave anything that is not a world file

    I deleted everything from Player and Universe folders, and i seem to have no problems with it. (In the universe folder, it looks like you got a file for your quests also)
