In Starbound, is there a way to change a player's race? I am using a modded race, and want to switch off of it.
I want to keep my current character, as I don't want to go through the quests and story again, along with re-earning everything I have.
Any way to change a character’s race

To upgrade your ship, you'll need Upgrade Modules. The amount you need is 2, 4, 6, 8, then 10 respectively for each upgrade. These can be found in chests, reward bags, and rarely as monster drops.
You must then obtain a ship license. This can either be done by getting Crew Members (2, 4, 6, 8, 10) for completing quests for settlers and hiring penguin mercenaries (after defeating Dreadwing), or alternatively by buying the license from The Penguin Bay at the outpost for increasing (10,000, 20,000, 40,000, 80,000, 150,000) amounts of pixels:
Once you have the upgrade modules and the license (fake or real), you'll need to visit Penguin Pete at the outpost, who will carry out the upgrade:
The Universe (Planets) carries over between characters. Every planet and every structure on it is the same between all your characters, even if you delete your old ones and start all-new.
That is because the Universe is saved in a seperate file that is independent of your characters.
That means you can either reset the world for all your characters or not at all. That might sound bad, but considering there are millions of planets in the game, you shouldn't worry about running out of stuff to do.
EDIT: Ships do not carry over as they are saved with your character

Based on the numerous responses in threads like this one or this one, as well as from personal experience, there is no way to change your character's race after creating it, unfortunately.
Since your race is tied to your ship, it would likely create issues if you attempted to mod the game in order to allow racial changes, too.
Your best bet would be to create a new character and transfer your items, though I realize this is less than ideal.
