Have you ever gotten tired from losing your items when you die, eating,or do you want to spice things up a bit?
this guide will show you how you can modify your player file to another difficulty
Before you start
Before you start it is highly recommended that you backup your star bound files in the case you mess up and need to revert back
Difficulty cheat sheet
here is the text that is used to a*sign your characters difficulty
Casual
“modeTypecasual”
Survival
“modeTypesurvival”
Hardcore
“modeTypehardcore”
Finding your player file
this file and many other player related files can be found in your “steamapps\common\Starbound\storage\player” folder
look for the files with the “.player” extension
to determine weather a file is the the correct player file there are ways of figuring it out
a) loading up that player from starbound and seeing and seeing the “date modified” date on the files to see what was the most recent player file used
b) opening the player file with a program like notepad and pressing “ctrl+f” and searching for your player name within in the file
Modifying your player file
open your file with notepad or notepad++
to find the text used to a*sign your players difficulty press “ctrl+f” and search for “modeType” to find the text that is used to a*sign your players difficulty
once you have found the text replace the “modeTypecasual”, “modeTypesurvival”, “modeTypehardcore” whatever text you have to your difficulty of choice
then you can save the file and if all is done correct you can then start/restart the game and enjoy your changed difficulty player
