Still waiting for character transfer

[Kalieko]

Want to play the game so bad but have no drive or want to restart on a new character every time I wanna play with a friend. I grinded out EVERYTHING from my pals attributes, to my gear and armor, all the way to making my bases as complex and cool as I could. Been wanting this update since release but the devs haven’t said a single word on making character transfer possible :(

Can always have a private server and or host co op on your machine if you don't want to lose progress.

If i recall there is a tool that can transfer character data from one world to another but i don't think it will transfer a base. I have never used it personally so i am unsure how it works. I imagine the Server host would have to import the data to their world after you export character data.

Not going to host a private server that resets all progress randomly. This has happened to many people, including some of the players im friends with. If theres a chance of losing all my progress why do that.

the other option is you can suck it up and take the L and start over. Me personally I find it refreshing you start over from the very beginning on a new server

Done this several times. it slows the game down and ultimately leaves little desire to continue playing. I dont enjoy restarting every time i wanna play with friends, nor do i enjoy having multiple saves i need to work on to get to end game.

endgame there is no endgame its early access there won't be an endgame until the game is fully done. Also whats the rush no need to rush games not going anywhere

Private servers don't do that.
That's the official servers that do a monthly wipe.

If your private dedicated server wipes, it's strictly because the company you paid shut it down or suffered a global data loss, at which point you get to tell them off royally.

But also, you could just set your single-player game to multiplayer mode, invite your friends to join, and you guys can play together (as long as the host is online).
The save remains on your PC, meaning even if your friends aren't around, you can even play on the side.
Similar to how Stardew Valley's multiplayer works.

I used to host a private server for myself and friends for almost a year, never lost any data that wasn't calculated.

We moved provider once and players lost their map exploration progress - didn't know they could restore that too back then.

If you rent the server, you get to decide if you want to reset progress.

And you will wait much more. That is planned after crossplay (which is much more important) that is also planned for the full release, so you can estimate about 3 years more to wait.

Private servers never reset all progress randomly, been playing with privately hosted since launch. All cloud server providers offer backup as well, I set mine to once a day. Never had to restore from backup and game plays fine. Bisect hosting does automatic restarts every 3 hr, and the server is back up within a minute with a second of rollback. Plenty of warnings before the server restarts itself.

I have several friends whose private servers either became corrupt and or deleted. Also, I cannot join a friends server if they’re not online. All major inconvirnces. I’ve also never seen anyone successfully back up a save file and use it on another’s server.

I will never rent a server. I should be able to carry my progress for free to anyone’s world.

So you have several options to choose from 1. you continue to play your current save and finish current content and stop playing til they add the option. 2. You start over fresh and with the knowledge you have get back to where you were on your previous save. 3. See if you can find someone who successfully transferred their character. 4. you stop playing altogether and not continue and just wait for the game to release so by the time you come back and start playing again there's new content and you can transfer your character
