Yeah I know resetting the universe isn't something people would like to do very often but I like when I create a new character to have a fresh universe without having the outpost with the NPCs I will unlock. Make a button on the options section that allows the player to reset the universe without having to go to the games folder and deleting the universe.
Honestly I think the outpost should start from scratch for each character by default. We have the tools to unlock everything if we so choose.
How much time does it take to switch between two characters 5 or 6 times through the week? (each having their own outpost/universe)
