Lost my sword... Start over?

[City Builder]

So, I created a new Floran and went out and killed a few things, gathered up enough wood and stone and went back to teh ship and crafted the pickaxe, hoe and axe.

But then I noticed that my sword was missing, so I ran around the custom (large) ship looking for it but it was nowhere to be found. It's not in my inventory and it's not in my hotbar.

I quickly went back down to the planet surface but couldn't find it down there either.

So, what do I do now to get another weapon this early in the game, the crafting table doesn't seem to allow me to craft any weapons.

Would you just start over or is there a better procedure when this happens?

Thanks

not just "another weapon" but a better weapon at that

Okay, well I forgot to check out the solar system when I started the game to see what I might have to explore so I did it now and found that there was only something like 5 options in my solar system, and the current system I was on had only the large forest planet, one of the other 4 had only a large planet that wouldn't allow you to land, and the other three had basically one or two planets with either asteroids or moons, so I guess I'll just start over *again* lol.

If you toss you weapon and can't find it, just mine the ores until you get enough iron to make an anvil. Once you made the anvil, you will need more iron to make a new weapon which is generally better than the starting weapon. You may even find a weapon in a chest while you're at it.

or make a bow, run along the planet surface till you find one of those sub boss mobs or hostile npcs, build a little bunker with dirt, make firing ports for your bow they can fit in and fire away. Easy weapons

how did you mog the ship?
ive been trying to add mods and they seem to never work

I never had a problem modding a ship, you just have to either create a new char or delete your old ship file after installing the mod.

Ship mods seem to be the easiest mods as you either just need to start a new character or remove the shipworld file (but only after removing ALL stuff you want to keep from your old ship else deleting the file means all items go with it, so stuff as much as you want or can in your personal inventory, if there still more, then build a bunker on your planet and stuff things in chests down there) and when you restart that character the game will make the new file and you'll have your new ship.

Some other mods require that you make additions to the player.config file and if you don't then they don't work. And yet some other mods simply don't work bcause they are old and outdated and not been updated for each new version of the beta.
