(not posting the whole thing, only first part we will be dealing with). Let' have a look at some basic player file. I have not found all the places that need to be changed yet, but there is a way around this issue. If we edit our file to add an item to our inventory, for example diamond, it will make our file larger by 7 because diamond has 7 letters, and we do not change the parts where size of file is stored, our file will become corrupted and that means bye bye to our diamond dreams.

Some parts of the player file keep information about length (size) of various sections of file (this makes it easier for game to read the file, but makes it harder for us to keep the file valid after we change something). There is also another kind of information not related to the player in game, but very important for us anyway. From what I understand it is divided into multiple sections that keep information about player character, like it's name, what hair type they have, and lots of other things I didn't have time to decypher yet (probably position on map etc.), but most importantly contents of players inventory. Use this guide only at your own peril.īefore I make you stare at lots of numbers let me tell you some general things about the player file.

I do not claim I'm correct about anything you are going to read in this guide, I do not posses omnipotent knowledge of the file that is called The Starbound Player File, these are just my thoughts and representation of the data at hand. It is very likely that player file structure may change in future, as well as my understanding of it and I will try to keep this guide updated.

What you are about to read is what I *think* about player file. I do not have full knowledge of player file, but what I know at the moment will be enough to add and remove items in your inventory or modify their quantity if they are in stack (iron ore for example). I will share my current knowledge of Starbounds player file and how to modify it. Right of the bat, if you don't know how to edit binary files or what hexadecimal is, I'm sorry but this guide is probably not for you and I'm just saying to save your time.
