A ton of work has gone into our patching system. This won't include a character/ship wipe, though, and you can still back up your worlds. 'There will likely be one more world wipe sometime in the future when we finalize the universe layout. 'This update will allow us to add new biomes and make changes to worlds without the possibility of the player losing their world,' writes community manager Molly Carroll on the Starbound blog. However, this will lead to one last world wipe in the near future. The updated system will allow for near-daily patches that can shape the game's world without affecting the player's work. While it does include some new Valentine's Day items, the real gift to players will be a refined patching system. Chucklefish is celebrating Valentine's Day a little late with a new Starbound update deployed yesterday.
