    so when i was playing starbound i was looking at some of the item Ids and i found that there was a background called
    "01 back Protectorate Background, A set piece not designed to be used as an object." now like an idoet like me, I placed the background... HUGE mistake, it makes it worse that its on my VILLAGE world... if anyone knows what command to get rid of it please tell me.

    Since it's an object that isn't meant to be obtained by the player i don't have an idea tbh...maybe it's possible accessing the position where it's placed and remove it via script or temporarily override the asset with an object that can be removed.

    You're right about backing up data but there is also a nicer way to say that :nurutease:

    Oh my, Protectorate background? Oh crap, yeah that is bad, I can't figure out in the files how to modify it to be removable as it doesn't even have a definitive "anchor" point.
    Ok, so I can figure out a few solutions:
    -SOMEHOW, find the "bounding box" on the object, it's their but hidden on the object so fiddling around with mining may help.
    -Allow the gamerule to allow building in an area, so that if removes the "cannot remove junk here" stuff (Like near ancient portals)
    -Mod the files to include (or remove?) the file (will cause crashes, so be careful)
    -Delete that planet file and try again.

    Just to be sure, check for users replies to make sure before attempting any of these.

    Just out of curiosity. When you found the protectorate backing, did you try finding the backing that matched the planet you are on? Try spawning it and using that?

    It probably might override the previously placed backing?

    What exactly does that wall background do that's so bad?

    It depends on the type of planet your village is set on?

    I can see a few different types of backing, 30 to be exact, all called protectorate. With the exception of one called Protectorate Stage.

    Are all of these gonna be backings for different planets? I dunno but it seems quite likely.

    I would suggest probably spawning them and seeing what they are and what they do. But do so on a planet you will not ever visit.

    OR, you could always restore a previous save, assuming you have not quit and started the game more than 3 times.

    what happens if i do it over 3 saves?

    Hel ✨ Johto's Finest ✨ Forum Moderator

    They're backups. And it saves the 3 times you closed.

    Just in case if something happens in an event like this

    where do i find the backups?(if there there...)

    They're normally found here:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Starbound\storage

    However, I dunno about you but I only have backups for characters and not worlds. Yikes.

    Do you remember the command you've used to place the background (/spawnitem something ?) ? I'd like to make tests to see if I find a method to place and remove it. Of course I'll share if I find a way, though I can't guarantee I'll find one.

    Edit : Oh ok that was easy for the command (/spawnitem 01back). I'll tell you if I find some way to get rid of it :)

    Edit 2 (sorry for editing 2 times) :

    Hey I've found it ! There's a sort of invisible frame around the image as Littleman9Mew2 pointed. If you use the matter manipulator to destroy (on the foreground) around the spot where the red cursor is on the screen below, the huge image should go back to your inventory again. I could place and remove the image several times that way.

    Maybe you know - are there backgrounds like this for ships?
    It must be... interesting ;)
