    I red about the new update and thought to play a bit.

    Steam automatically updated...

    I went to the Starbound folder and backed Player and universe Folder.

    Game crash at first try - Old Mods...
    ( Deleted\Moved all Mods, updated\replaced essential ones like Fracking Universe which modifies the universe generation)

    Start Game with the old Player and universe Folders: Game starts, i choose the player, spawn on the ship and at a random location.
    When i put in the coordinates there was nothing there...
    So i went out of the game, closed everything. Deleted the
    universe.chunks and universe.dat files to generate a fresh universe.
    Start the game, game crashes - after a little Testing i found it was Fracking universe, deleted\moved it, started game, Game worked!

    Closed the game - placed FF back in the Mods Folder - started game - Game worked! (strange but hey :)

    Choose character, took a while till something happened but i watched the task-manager in the meanwhile and the Application was working nicely.

    After about 2 min i spawn on the ship - again on a different random location and when i put in any of my coordinates there aren't even Star systems there. :(

    Could someone please help me?
    Oh and just to be sure, i tried the way
    mollygos posted and the guide from Elite Space Hobo too. Each 3 times, followed to the letter!
    (I also replaced both the
    universe files with the old ones a few times, with mod and without = i generated a new universe with all possible options, so with FF and without. Again no Star systems)

    I really hope there is some Shodushi out there,

    The problem here is those 2 guides are meant only for vanilla game players.
    Any time you add a mod which adds stars \ biome types the coordinate system changes
    This is to compensate for the new planet types being added into the universe generation algorithm.

    I thought one way,so with or without the mod, it should have worked, no?

    Any ideas what i can try?

    Oh btw, the universe i used was generated Vanilla and FF installed after

    The universe is generated "on the fly" as you explore. Adding a mod that affects planet generation means that any planets visited from that point on will pull in that mod's data to generate new planets (and new chunks for existing planets depending on the mod data as well).

    Yea, i am aware of that. As i said i generated the universe with the Vanilla Game (without any generation - changing affects).

    After i installed the Mod (FF), the star system was still there (this result is the same each time, the star system generated in vanilla will always keep its layout), only the Planets look different on the surface. Meaning my ice planet looked like a Jungle planet. When i landed the planet was still the one i generated when i first came there.

    I did and do not care about a little visual thingy... (My Problem\fault, should have generated after the mod)

    What i do care about is what i built. I just want my stuff back.[DOUBLEPOST=1430028474][/DOUBLEPOST]Just thought of something:

    Is it possible, that Spirited Giraffe has had changes done in universe generation? If that's the case, then that might be why i do not get the old universe back ( it is still strange that it doesn't work with my backed files..?!)

    But if that's it, then i would just need a Upbeat Giraffe Version. I Looked around a bit already, but haven't seen anything yet.

    Can i get an installer or a link for an "original Upbeat Giraffe" anywhere?

    As I said anytime there are changes to biomes or star systems, either new biomes or sub biomes or even tiles.
    The universe will vary.

    No unfortunately there is no installer for previous versions.
