- This command will reset all universe flags (so none will be set) - things like the Outpost will be reset to their initial state after executing this command. You will need to exit and leave any areas for changes to take effect (i.e. If you are in the Outpost when you run this command, you will need to leave and enter for changes to take effect).
- They're a self contained instance, separate from the rest of the universe, which players can teleport to via SAIL on their ship. It is recommended that you bookmark each race's settlement so you can return there quickly for their scan quest later on, if you find any while exploring.

Attracts moths. Moths produce silk!
Moth Traps are a resource producing object which allows players to harvest silk fibre, which is used to produce silk.
They only produce silk fibre while the attached lantern is lit. The trap will light itself between late in the night until dawn, making it one of the few objects in game which is tied to planet day/night cycles. Oddly enough, moth traps still function on your Ship, which doesn't have an apparent day/night cycle of its own. These traps also act as a Light Source, but only at night.
The trap can only be harvested when full, giving 1-3 pieces of unprocessed silk. Harvesting the silk will reset the trap to empty and it will begin to fill itself again. It will only take one night to fill up the trap, unless you place the device before the night has begun.
Harvest Optimization
Players will be able to harvest from moth traps within a distance at their own level, just above them, and just below them. Placing these stations as close together by using platforms is advised.

Frackin Universe On Steam
My character has disappeared
Check this guide for steps on how to retrieve your lost character.
My game crashes with an IOException/Leaf Block error!
These are world corruption errors, generally caused by conflicting third-party mods. You can solve this issue by deleting the “universe” folder from your Starbound directory
Other Troubleshooting Tips
Reset your universe
If you’re unable to login to any characters the universe files may have become corrupted. They can be reset, but be aware that doing so will remove all worlds you’ve visited. It’s advised to make a back up copy the universe before removing.
- Windows (32-Bit): C:Program FilesSteamsteamappscommonStarbounddistuniverse
- Windows (64-Bit): C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonStarbounddistuniverse
- Mac OS X: /Users/USER/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/dist/universe
- Linux (32-Bit): ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/dist/universe
- Linux (64-Bit): ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/dist/universe
Copy the crash log
Starbound generates a log file which is extremely helpful to identify the cause of crashes. If you’re reporting a crash make sure to include this log information. The easiest method is to paste into pastebin (or an equivalent site) then include the link to the log in your report post. Including the entire log in the post makes it difficult to read.
- Right-click ‘Starbound’ in Steam
- Click ‘Properties’
- Click ‘Local Files’
- Click ‘Browse Local Files’
- Enter the ‘Storage’ folder
- Open Starbound.log
Disable the Steam overlay
- Click the “Settings” button in your Steam window, then click on “In-Game Settings”.
- Uncheck the box next to “Enable Steam Community In-Game” and click OK.
- Disable the Steam Overlay on specific games only by right-clicking on the game title, click on “Properties” and uncheck “Enable Steam Community In-Game” in the “General” tab.
Launch the game without Steam running
Starbound Delete Universe
- Navigate to the folder you have Starbound installed to and run the program directly from there. Typically, this is usually the following file:
- Windows (32-Bit): C:Program FilesSteamsteamappscommonStarboundwin32starbound.exe
- Windows (64-Bit): C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonStarboundwin32starbound.exe
- Windows, OpenGL (32-Bit): C:Program FilesSteamsteamappscommonStarboundwin32starbound_opengl.exe
- Windows, OpenGL (64-Bit): C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonStarboundwin32starbound_opengl.exe
- Mac OS X: /Users/USER/Library/Application Support/Steam/*/Starbound.app/Contents/MacOS/starbound/Starbound.app
- Linux (32-Bit): ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/linux32/starbound
- Linux (64-Bit): ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/linux64/starbound
Miscellaneous
I’m a YouTuber/live streamer; can I have permission to record and monetize Starbound footage?
Yes! Please see our general FAQ page for exact details.
What are the system requirements to play Starbound?
Our minimum system requirements can be found our Steam store page.
What is “unstable” and how do I switch to it?
The “unstable” branch of the beta receives updates before the main stable branch and isn’t tested as thoroughly. It may also destroy saves or contain other issues, which will be fixed as they’re discovered and before they’re pushed to the stable branch. This branch is intended for people who want to test for bugs/issues. Only use this branch if you don’t mind potential game-breaking bugs!
To switch to unstable, simply install it from your Steam library as you would with the normal game:
If you only see the normal “Starbound” item in your library, you may need change how Steam is displaying your games to you. You can do this by hovering over the “Library” option at the top of your Steam client, and selecting “Games” from the dropdown (as opposed to “Recent” or “Installed”).
