Closed Starmap resets completely after I log off.

This bug was okay at first, when I had gotten into the Gamma sector, but became a rather huge pain in the arse when I got to delta. Essentially, I would progress through the game as usual, but after using a Starmap upgrade and unlocking the new sector, whenever I save and quit, I completely lose my progress on the starmap. I can craft the Gamma sector upgrade with steel, but having to re-defeat both the Penguin UFO AND Bone Dragon literally every time just to get to somewhere in the game I've already unlocked is absolutely ludicrous!

Not only that, but I can't build on home planets either, unless I save my coords, because it annoyingly places me on a random planet and erases my saved home planet literally every SINGLE time I get back on. Not going to lie, it's tedious. I'm prepared for character wipes and the like because I know they'll help me retest the updated lower tiers, but this...this is just annoying. Having a character with Tier 4 armor start off on a new Alpha planet upon every log in wasn't amusing the first time, and isn't now...

Does anyone else have this problem, or know what the freakin' deal is?

 

Could you check if you have a FAIL file in your player / world folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Starbound?

 

have you checked if this happens to new characters as well? it might be that the character is just too old, also, are you on a server? finally have you tried manually deleting ALL files then manually selecting a re-install? you could have corruption

 

I currently have a disappearing starmap problem. Did anything solve this?

 

Might need to throw up a few more details man. This thread was old and the reasons might be totally different now and might require a new thread (prob not now, but maybe if this doesn't get much attention)

What build are you playing Stable/ Unstable/Nightly, Single Player/ MP etc.

 

I'm not sure what all those things mean. I'll try.

I don't use mods. I have tried the backup mod but I'm not clever enough to make it work. I play single and multi. Been having problems with things sticking when going from friends server, to my server, to single player. We play too much to keep track of what happens when. We have lost ships, home worlds, inventory, inventory progress loss (yesterday I lost everything I had done the night and day before, but only from the inventory, nowhere else, and there was no computer crash), quests being forgotten, star maps being forgotten, not being in the computer when you go to your ship after a server swap, or sometimes just a few hours off the game. It's very unpredictable. Some of those losses were from computer crashes, some of them pure mystery.

 

Ah ok. I might be wrong, but I think it might be an issue with the same characters progression in different universes. Each time you start a new server the existing missions and progression reset. Don't hold me to it but each time it's causing your players progression to reset and possibly screw with this progression in another server.

(It's been a while since I played MP so I am not sure if they changed how that was working)

 

That's what it looks like, but we don't lose something *every* time. That's where the mystery lies :/
Also, the other day, when my inventory reverted, I had been playing single player most of the day and earlier, we were on my server.
