What happens to your ship if the game updates and you use mods?

Lets say you use a mod that gives you an awesome new huge spaceship, but then the game updates. what happens to your ship and everything in it? (I know ships should never be wiped again, but how does this work if your ship is modded? is it still unaffected?)

 

I'm pretty certain it can mess up your save and you should always delete all mods before an update BUT don't quote me on this I'm not 100% sure!

 

It would probably wipe your ship back to the default ship. However, by backing up your ship files before playing the new update and then reinstalling your modded ship files after the mod gets updated, it should work fine.

Remember to run a command to delete the .DS_store files left behind by finder after opening the player folder.

 

anyone else have any info?

 

Don't quote me on any of this because it's all just my own theory.

I'm assuming that the character, ship files, and world files are all separated. Since the devs don't plan on wiping ships or doing anything detrimental to them, I'm assuming they will be programming future ship updates around the current ships to prevent ship wipes. This means as long as the mod only interacts with the current ship it SHOULD be just fine, but this again depends on both the mod and the update. There really is no way to tell what will happen though, but if it is a ship mod I'm sure you're safe
