starbound
Starbound worlds looks pretty amazing and it's time to build up something really big.
Can you, please, guide me how to add pixels to a specific character? Is there any way to achieve that with a command in-game or via any characters-related config files.
Any specific doc reference will be appreciated!
Update
Considering answer. I'm wondering if there a PC tool to edit character file.
Go to Steam\SteamApps\common\Starbound\player. There you find your character and world files. At a first glance, there is no way to tell which one is which though, since it uses some sort of hasing to create filenames. So you should look at the file creation date and also make a backup before deleting it.
Alternativly, you can open the file with notepad and have a peek inside. Your name is there on the top after the "ACK" Symbol:
My character name is Gordon, so I know this is the right file.
Exploring the surface for large buildings can prove quite fruitful, as many of the chests and containers therein will contain large caches of pixels. Take them. All of them. As of right now (shortly after the Frustrated Koala update), NPCs don't even get mad if you take their stuff from their containers.
If you cant' find such structures easily, there's another way to find large pixel caches.
Dig deeper down.
The world I am on has a huge underground cavern that has tons and TONS of capsules full of pixels. dig down deep enough, and you'll start running into them all over the place.
This area is dangerous though, so be prepared.
For extra bits, make sure you kill monsters with a strong Melee weapon, which provides a high chance of them dropping bits (with ranged weapons, the chance for bits to drop is lower due to a higher chance to drop meat and leather instead).
Best Answer
Without installing any mods or other utilities:
First activate admin mode by running:
Then we spawn in the item for pixels (called
moneyin the code). You can replacexin this command with the amount you want.The pixels will spawn in the world at your cursor. If you get a Perfectly Generic Item instead, check wether you entered the command correctly. If it errors, check the command or lower
x.Lastly, to leave admin mode:
This won't work in multiplayer unless you are the host.
EDIT: With the 1.1 update adding Essence as a currency for the Vaults, the procedure should remain largely the same. Just replace the spawnitem command with this one:
essenceis the name for Essence in the code. Once again, replacexwith the amount you want.
