That will always be an inferior solution compared to proper native support. I probably can eventually craft a migration tool for character data. They already sort of do this for action bar count, but in this case they hide the invalid characters - rather than sanitizing the data to make the players valid again.This should happen during the early startup checks.player file references to bags/grids/slots that shouldn't exist get removed (when/if they can't be ignored). player file has no reference to gets added/defaulted to an empty bag/grid/slot. They already sanitize the items and objects themselves (aka "perfectlygenericitem"). I don't know if they currently have such plans. What you can do for now is ask the devs to address this. You may want to subscribe to this thread in that case. If I find something that does - or cook it up myself - I'll update this thread. Potentially a 3rd party program (like a character editor) could fix your old characters, but I don't currently know of any that actually do. I was desperate to find a way to fix this! I had the bad luck to have a ridiculous death and I also lost my wife's character.SolutionsNothing currently.

Right at the very first town I walked off the left edge and fell to death. I also died in the stupidest way possible. It was my first char ever and I didn't want to begin all over again after playing for 6 hours or so. But I think people should be able to do what they want with their game. Why I restore a hardcore char? Doesn't it defeat the purpose of hardcore? Well, it kinda does of course. I respawned when I opened the save in game(-30% pixels or something but had all of my items). Anyway, delete "hardcore" and substitute it with "survival" (no " " of course). If you have a hardcore character, then it should read hardcore (I think it was that?).

Make a backup copy of that file just in case! Download and install Notepad++ (google it). If you have multiple character figure out the correct file by sorting in file explorer by date modified or something. Go to Starbound *main folder*/storage/player/ayer.
