#8277 Del reddit oficial:
What's a nightly?
A "nightly" build is the most recent in-development build of Starbound, with cutting-edge features and also cutting-edge bugs. Expect it to be broken.
How do I get it?
It's easy to opt-in to the nightly branch, but READ THIS BEFORE YOU DO IT.
Opting in to the nightly *will wipe your universe, and it *will wipe your characters. Before opting in, make sure to backup your 'player' and 'universe' folders elsewhere (if you want to keep them). If you still want to test out the nightly build, here's how to do it:
Right-click on Starbound in your Steam library, and hit "Properties".
Click the "Betas" tab.
In the "Betas" tab, hit the drop-down menu, select "nightly", and confirm by pressing "OK".
Starbound should begin updating to the nightly branch.
My game is crashing when it launches...
Go to your starbound folder and delete 'starbound.config'. If it doesn't work after that, delete the 'player' folder and the 'universe' folder. MAKE SURE YOU BACK THEM UP FIRST IF YOU HAVE WORLDS OR CHARACTERS THAT YOU LIKE.
As of Dec 9 until further notice, it seems that in OSX and Windows you will need to manually launch the executable. Because of changes to the layout of files and the inability to set launch path by branch, a working solution will not be available until we can replace the stable.
