Hi i am posting this in-case anyone is curios or is worried about a character wipe this is how to backup characters on the steam version 1.Go to Computer 2.Go to C Drive (C:) 3.Program Files for 32 bit users and Program Files (x86) for 64 bit users 4.Find the folder named Steam 5.Go into SteamApps Folder 6.Common 7.Find your Starbound folder 8.inside is a folder called player so far i think it. What up, I know quite a few people from here got swept up in the Starbound hype rush when the beta was released last week, so I thought I'd pop in and share this for those that might play but don't visit Dojo and would otherwise miss this. I made a quick graphical player editor for the game so you can customize the colors of your player and it's armor beyond what the game normally allows.
starcheat is currently incompatiable with Starbound 1.0 - We are currently not accepting issues for Starcheat errors with users running starcheat 0.27 with Starbound 1.0. For updates on 1.0 support, follow issue #282 (early nightly builds with 1.0 support are available).

Building from source
Here is how to build starcheat from source. Make sure everything in the dependencies section is installed before you do a build.
Dependencies
- Qt 5 (included in PyQt5 binaries on Windows)
NOTE: py-starbound is included as a git submodule and needs to be cloned with the following commands:
cd <starcheat top folder>
git submodule sync
git submodule update --init
Applications such as Sourcetree should offer to clone it automatically.
Windows
Lines starting with >
can be run in PowerShell or cmd.exe.
> cd <starcheat top folder>
> C:Python33python.exe .build.py
- Browse to newly created
build
folder - Double click
starcheat.py

dist
folder - Double click
starcheat.exe
Linux

$ brew update
$ brew install chrmoritz/starcheat/starcheat

for the 1.0 nightly) instead of the latest stable release)brew linkapps starcheat
(symlinks the.app

StarReader, A website for editing your player saves

I've been nervous about posting this to this subreddit for fear of backlash, but screw it, let me know what you think, what works, what doesn't, etc etc.
Where do i want to go with this tool? Hopefully in the near future Starbound servers support server-side saves, there's no way client-side saves will ever be safe from cheating. With server-side saves I hope to transition into a web-portal for servers with character profiles and that sort of stuff.
