Working Downgrade to Glad Giraffe, Update 3 (Pre 1.0)
By Ƥrǐŋcєss Ƒluեեєrsɦy
You want the old Version back?
Here's a simple Way to do this.
Step by Step and you can still use Version 1.0,

I have actual a Pets Play with Starbound, so I'm not able to upgrade the Game to 1.0, because I would lost my Progress.
So I have look in the Web for a downgrade and I found it.

So how to play Starbound in Glad Giraffe and still have the chance to test 1.0?
I give you a simple Step by Step Guide to get this.

1. Go in the Installationsfolder of Starbound and then one up
2. Made a complete Copy of the Starbound Folder
3. Rename the new Copy in a good Name (Starbound-Retro for me)
4. Go in the new Folder and delete everything in it, eccept the Folder "giraffe_storage" and Backups of it if you have (best backup the Folder in an Zip or 7z Archive).
5. Download the Glad giraffe Version at https://mega.nz/#!R1d2zbxA!XNcI22HJAqv6V7Kx6sVZE9C7YZqQcw7zdzwTpGH3czw
6. Extract the Archive and copy the contents in the new Starbound Folder
Done.

Now you can start the old Game over the Exes in the win32 or win64 Folder.
The actual Version of Starbound is still accessable over Steam and Steam should not change the new Starbound Installation.
You have your Char, your Ship and the Worlds back, but you can't use the new contents from 1.0.

I found a torrent for Glad Giraffe, so I'm good. If you want a Google Drive link for the already unpacked game, feel free to add me.

I'm not sure what's "Mpc-g" but if you mean Multiplayer, if the Player and the Server all use the old Version, it should be working.
People with the 1.0 Version can't play the old chars.
I hav'nt test if you can go with a 1.0 on a Pre 1.0 Server, but if hope, then I could try to bring the Stuff from the old Ship on the new, but I think thats not working.

This Guide show the simplest and easyest way to downgrade the Game and you still can use the actual Version of the Game, because the Retro-Version is a paralel Installation.
