To be brutally honest, you dont HAVE to back up your entire Universe save folder. The great thing about this trick is that its reaaaaaaally useful for backing up your saves. All you have to do is jump to those coordinates, and viola, your planet is available for use. Figure out which one of those files is your planet, and give a copy of it to your friend, and tell him to dump it into the Universe save folder on his computer.Īs long as your friend wasnt using that same exact planet in his Universe (which the chances are very slim), your planet is now in his Universe. Go into the Universe save folder on your computer, you'll notice its not just one file, but a lot of files. Let's say you have a planet where you've built some really neat stuff on, and you want it to be in your friend's Universe. And since Player saves are separate from Universe saves, anything on your Player save (aka, your character and ship) is persistent across all Universe saves.īTW, there's a great trick involving the Universe saves. You end up using the host's Universe save when running MP.

Bookmarking isnt going to work because bookmarks are part of the ship, and that's part of the Player save, and that's different for each character. You just need to write down the coordinates to that planet. You CAN have a world where you can just store everything for all your characters. However, if you manage to get enough resources, you can warp your 2nd character's ship to 001,001. Your 2nd character? He's not gonna start at 001,001. Your changes to the Universe arent disappearing/being reset with each new character, you're just starting off in some other random corner of the Universe.įor example, your first characters starts on some random planet at coordinates 001,001. The thing is, everything you've done in the Universe till that point where you started a 2nd/3rd/whatever character, still exists, and still has the changes you caused.

Player saves cover your character, anything your character is carrying, plus your ship, anything your ship is carrying, and any NPCs on your ship who act as crew members.Įvery time you start a new character, that character starts on another random world somewhere in the Universe. So if you dig a hole, or if you die and drop your items, as long as you return to where you died, they will still be there, doesnt matter how many times you die, your items will stay there until you pick them up. Anything you do on a planet is saved into the Universe saves. Universe saves cover any and all planets you visit, even if you werent on the planet for more than a few seconds. I end up going through my cans, but before I can really explore and get into things, I get hungry and eventually just die.

reset.Īlso, any tips for feeding my character would be great. I'd like to play as hardcore characters without having the world, progress, etc. So do I have that all correct, or is there a way I can simply make a world, store my stuff with a guy, then if he dies, my new guy can keep living in that world too. So each time I die, I'm starting completely from scratch, ships broken, intro mission, etc, and the world is different every time I make a new character.

You can't just continue where the last guy left off, it appears. I remember being able to drop back in with a new guy without rebooting the world, I think.Īnyway, I thought I'd do the same for this game, but it's like restarting a story mode every time you make a new guy.

I always made hardcore characters while playing with a friend, then I'd come back in with a new character to pick up the stuff. So in Terraria, you made a world, then you made characters separately who could go into any of your worlds. Hoping somebody can help explain something for me, I guess.
