Character Linked with World or Not?

[D.A.R.K.]

First of all, sorry for bad english, I'm from Brazil.

I was wondering which one is better, for those who know Minecraft, Terraria and Starbound, we see the Character it's linked with the World, meaninig we can't use our Character in other Worlds, World it's linked with the Character, the same, but instead of chose Character, you chose World and Character and World not linked.

In Minecraft our World is linked to the Character, meaninig we create a World and, once we join that World, our Character will be created and linked with that world, meaninig we can't use that Character in other Worlds.

In Terraria our Character and World aren't linked, meaninig we can use our Character in any World and have any Character in a single World.

In Starbound, the Character is linked with the World, meaning as soon as you create a Character, the World will be created as well, we can't join in other Worlds with that Character neither other Character can't join that World.

I was wondering which one is better... Of course each one has it's negative points and positive points, the most important about it a Linked one it's that you can't use other Worlds to make your character strong and play in a new fresh World... But that's a positive point as well because we could use, as Terraria, Worlds and Character as test and create an "Item World" with all items and do tons of tests...

After thinking a while about it, the worst possibility it's a Character linked to a World, that's the wrost one because if we play Coop with some friends, those friends will join in the World of that Character, meaning once you play Single Player again, it will be effected by your friends actions....

Sorry for TLDR but what do you guys think about that? It's the the first time I play a game where you create a Character and the World is linked to it, instead of opposite, It feels weird when I did play Coop with my friends.

Of course, I createa another Character to play Single Player, but it's that...

cara resume teu problema que fica mais facil kkkk. Acho que entendi , se voce criar um char novo acho que vc consegue ter acesso se tiver as coordenadas do mundo gerado pelo outro char seu.

Como assim? O Mundo não é gerado automaticamente depois de criar o Personagem? Tem Seed?

[Guillusion]

ta ligado que a galera acha um mundo com um item x e bioma y e eles sempre postam aqui a galera acha o mundo igual , se pah as coordenadas sao o seed

[Guillusion]

sim o mundo é aleatorio , por isso falei que não sei se tem como voce ir no seu save do outro char entendeu , no caso outro player poderia gerar um mundo igual mas sem suas estruturas e tals

[Guillusion]

unica maneira do cara ter acesso a seu mundo é vc hostiando ou vc fazendo uma copia do arquivo . No caso da pra passar o save desse mundo pra pasta do outro char. Acho que deu pra entender né kkkk.

Ata, então o mundo e o char são separados, só trocar os arquivos.
Pensei que era semelhante ao Minecraft, só que ao inverso.
No Minecraft criamos o mundo e o personagem vem unico qunado logamos.
Vlw.

I think you can change files from the folder, but ingame, normaly, you can't.
You can't separete Character from World, you can't delete Character and keep the World or delete the World and keep the Character, both are linked.

You can salve the world file from the folder, delete the character, create a new character and trade the new world file from the old one, you will have a new character in a old world. With that you probably can change character and keep the world from the files as well.

I think you got wrong idea on how Starbound worlds work. The other two games sound about right.

Starbound everything is separate. You can use your character throughout the universe. The same universe. At least if playing single player.

When making character, it selects a world within your universe according to a universe seed; which only can be changed outside game by 3rd party means. Everybody should have the same Universe seed. The coordinates is the thing to pay attention to when travel planet to planet.

Type those coordinates in and you will arrive at your other character's position in the universe.

You see "Lush" planets around every gentle star? Those planets are the ones that have possible spot a new character could end up at the beginning of the game.

One thing you are correct on, is that it only loads/saves those planets once you land/beam down to them. It will not save entire planet by going to them, that will happen when you explore planet below, but the file will be created for that planet to add what is explored/modified. So basically yes it will create the planet you start your new character on.

I don't really know what language you speak, as I only know english unfortunately. I just hope I explained well enough. :)

Multiplayer is more or less using the universe of the Host, or server. So you can join with any character, unless server restricts it somehow. Which is a whole other thing on its' own.

Thanks, I could understand =)
I thougth it was the same as Minecraft.

The character and Ship are their own save world, If you play in anyone's /universe/ Your character and ship will go there, they are "Your character"

"The world" is about 812401294012481 billion of them in your universe, and you can go to any of them. All of your characters play in the same universe, and if anyone joins you in multiplayer, in your universe, they will be playing with your worlds, too.

Oh.... By the way, there's anyway to change the Skin of the Ship? My ship is a Train-Shape like, I just hate it... There's anyway to change that in the future? I'm new in the game, I'm still learning about the basics, I don't even unlock the mechanich to fix the Ship.

yeah it is quite different... Similar at least where seeds are generated, but there is a bit more to it since the xy is the star system location, and then there is planet orbit location within that star system, and then further which planet within that orbit.

Glad I could elaborate. :)

Only through modding. It may change in the future, but that has yet to be seen or hinted at.
