Accessing The Ruin from the start of a new game

[MaybeGreat]

Today I decided to replay Starbound after beating it. When I got to the Ark with a new character, I noticed that all the mission NPCs (Nuru, The Baron, etc.) were there. They were willing to give me quests and repair my Broken Broadsword. When I got to the Ruin Portal, it was open. After listening to Esther’s intro speech, I interacted with The Portal and was able to teleport to The Ruin. I am not sure whether this is intentional, a bug or something caused by mods, but I do know that having the Protector’s Broadsword before the Erchius Mining Facility is a big balance issue.

It's by design. All characters share the same outpost. So the one with the outpost in it's most advanced state, sets it for all the rest.

Ursa Miner and the like saving between characters makes sense, but The Ruin? Being able to skip all the race missions and getting the Protector's Broadsword from the very start seem like rather big issues, and the missions triggering anyway, even though their rewards have already been collected, make this seem like the kind of thing the developers didn't have the time to fix and just left in.

He wont repair your sword until a certain quest.

You have to run the command "/admin" and then "/resetuniverseflags", and the next time you load the outpost, it will be reset.

you can delete your universe save file too but i guess the /resetuniverseflags is easier

You do not just share the outpost. You share your whole universe between saves (You just don't start on the same planet). Also if you host in multiplayer it also uses your universe.

Don't worry. That quest is unavailable until JUST before the ruin gate is open. It won't be an issue.

Is there a mod that makes the outpost independent between characters without having to use console commands?

No, it's kinda hardcoded that way. Don't see how any mod could change it.
