I can't teleport down to planet - I get beamed down to my ship

[AnonymousShade]

I need help.
I've originally thought this was a mod-generation bug, but it seems like worse.

Things to take note:
I've verified files, multiple times, and I have the same bug.
I've been unsubbing from mods left and right, old ones even, and still have the bug.
My characters have been wiped from this bug, and I was unable to restore them.

I have a bunch of mods that add stuff, and I've been deleting them left and right. I used to play Starbound with a friend doing all these mods, but now (in singleplayer) I cannot beam down to the starting planet.
I thought I found the mod that was the root to the problem, but now I can't teleport down to any planets at all.

I've been stressed and I have been trying to find out this game-breaking problem for about a couple days now. I just want a solution. I need help!

The mod likely modified the planet. Now that you deleted the mod the modified planet doesn't match your files. Try checking your starships nav panel and get the coordinates. Look for a planet file with those coordinates and delete it, forcing the game (upon loading the planet) to make a new planet based on the seed. You'll lose anything you built on the planet, but it should set it back to normal (assuming you've removed all mods). If that doesn't work, you're going to have to delete the character and everything in the universe folder and start again. Be careful of what mods you add back. Know what you're getting into before taking the plunge.

All of my characters were already deleted, so im not afraid with "taking a plundge". I don't really know how to edit planet files at all either - no idea where they are located.

Will making a new character (deleting the old one) entirely fix the problem?

No, you will need to delete the files. Just find your storage folder in your starbound folder and delete everything in the player and universe folder. If you don't do that, this may happen again and again. Since your universe is shared among all your characters in this game.

Really? I didn't know that. Will deleting a character reset the planet? (Originally I thought the universe reset with each character made, I didn't know this-)

Characters all share the same planets, if something on the planet is making you crash, deleting your characters won't fix it. If a mod you removed added something to planets, you'll have to delete the universe folder so it generates a new universe.

Might also be able to move far away from where you are to force the game to generate new planets without the stuff from the mod, but if you can't land on the old planets there's not really much point in keeping them.

Edit:
To find those files, right click Starbound in your library, click Properties, go to Local Files, click Browse Local Files, open the Storage folder and the planets are in the Universe folder.

Alright, I see a bunch of files.
Ex: 1e99036fc3c54dfe44cc295c8acb1061.clientcontext
But I see some at the bottom like
tempworlds.index
universe.chunks
universe.dat

Do I delete everything? Or keep the stuff at the bottom I mentioned?

If you want to regenerate the universe, delete the whole folder. If it's a specific planet that's causing the problem, see if you can find the files with its coordinates in the name and delete that.

If you had mods that changed how the universe generated and you removed them, you'll probably have to delete the whole universe folder.

Got it. It's empty. I'm going to verify files before I start again... Thank you!
