The Unstable version (included with the game on Steam) is an unstable release that "may destroy your saves and be generally, well, unstable."<ref>{{Refurl|url=http://playstarbound.com/nother-update-new-unstable-branch-on-steam/|title=playstarbound.com|date=May 2023}}</ref> Updates are usually released to the Unstable version in advance for public testing, before being pushed to the main branch, and Steam Workshop mods cannot normally be accessed by the Unstable version. Between updates, however, the Unstable version is otherwise exactly the same as the standard version.

Version differences

Unstable

The Unstable version (included with the game on Steam) is an unstable release that "may destroy your saves and be generally, well, unstable."[5] Updates are usually released to the Unstable version in advance for public testing, before being pushed to the main branch, and Steam Workshop mods cannot normally be accessed by the Unstable version. Between updates, however, the Unstable version is otherwise exactly the same as the standard version.

Game data

Configuration file(s) location

System Location
Windows <path-to-game>\storage\starbound.config[Note 1]
Microsoft Store %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Starbound\starbound.config
macOS (OS X) <path-to-game>/storage/starbound.config
Linux <path-to-game>/storage/starbound.config
The path to the storage directory can be customized by changing the storageDirectory option in the file sbinit.config, which is located in the same directory as the Starbound executable.[6]

Save game data location

System Location
Windows <path-to-game>\storage\[Note 1]
Microsoft Store %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Starbound\
macOS (OS X) <path-to-game>/storage/
Linux <path-to-game>/storage/
The path to the storage directory can be customized by changing the storageDirectory option in the file sbinit.config, which is located in the same directory as the Starbound executable.[6]
The storage/player directory contains the save files for all characters/players along with the respective ship worlds and automated backups.
The storage/universe directory contains all planet worlds and systems that have been generated.
This game does not follow the XDG Base Directory Specification on Linux.
Save games are not being stored per user, but are shared between user accounts.

mv libdirect-1.{7.so.1.0.0,2.so.9}
mv libdirectfb-1.{7.so.1.0.0,2.so.9}
mv libfusion-1.{7.so.1.0.0,2.so.9}
mv {,_}libSDL-1.2.so.0
