the fuck is a heart forge?

[Tarran]

A random guess, but maybe it's related to the Valentine's Day stuff.

Nope. It's actually a list-handling error for the switch between C++ to Lua, involving null values and truncation that affect initializing of lockers and chest, etc.
EDIT: Derp, you were talking about the heart forge. Oops.

pretty sure he meant that.

[Reverie]

Yeah, I need to learn to read. c;

Server crashes whenever someone joins. I'm going to leave the server down until something gets fixed. Sorry folks. It will return soon though

[Tarran]

No pressure, I'd imagine a large amount of players are waiting anyway for a fix for containers. I know I am.

[Sappho]

I just got another update. Not going to risk going on until it's been tested though.

Shame they had to release this series of crashy updates on my holiday week... So much playing time lost... So many hours spent being unexpectedly productive with real-world concerns, it's a tragedy. : (

another patch just out now 227mb that fixes the various bugs

[Leyic]

Here's the post about this hotfix.

I'm going to highlight these bits in particular:

This hotfix addresses the issues with deleting containers in world.  It also introduces an auto-backup on upconverting files from old versions, as well as a unix log style rotating backup.

If your containers have been deleted from your world, the only thing we can recommend is restore from backup.  The data is gone and we cannot retrieve it.

If your ship’s locker or ship’s fuel hatch are missing, you will need to delete your .shipworld file.

(emphasis mine)

So the problem's fixed, there's auto-backup just in case, and if you don't have a manual backup from before hand, there's nothing that can be done to restore anything lost. Beta is beta.

Edit: There's another quickfix on the way, should be out in the morning Chucklefish time.

Good thing that an old mod actually prevented Starbound from starting before I had a chance to back up my folders. (but I had a backup in Dropbox from days ago when I last played anyway).

Since I normally move my saved universe ("universe" and "player" folders) between my home and work computer via Dropbox, I'm always making backups, also I regularly delete the planet files to minimize space, and to get untouched planets every time

Seems stable enough! Server's up.

Seems stable enough! Server's up.

Did you revert the universe files for some reason? My homeworld seems to be a couple weeks out of date.

[Greiger]

Oops, mispost.

Since I am here anyway, Greibird has joined the server, stand in awe as my complete lack of aesthetic design lowers property values everywhere in the sector.

My homeworld has been set back as well. I have alerted Tylui.
