Before you do this, create a backup copy of your character so that if anything happens to your character's data, you can restore it.

well, also, be sure to download Notepad++, as you will really need it for this change.
You can download it from this link[notepad-plus-plus.org]

open the source folder where your character is located, along this path:

then select your character file, right-click on it, and select edit with notepad++
after you have opened your character file via Notepad++, hold down Ctrl+F and a panel will open, and in this panel select replace.
In the line what to find enter the current gender of your character, and in the line replace with enter the gender to which you want to change it.
but then click replace all
in order to change the gender of your character, you need to copy these lines, which are responsible for the gender of your character.
male:
female:
or for convenience, you can download this small archive, where there are small semblances of codes responsible for the gender of the character:
link to archive[drive.google.com]

Notes - to work with this archive, send it via Notepad++, because it is more convenient, and also these symbols for the character's gender are supported only in this program

After all these actions, save this character file and run Starbound.
if your character's gender has changed, then...
CONGRATULATIONS!!!, you have successfully changed the gender of your character.


after you change gender, your character will retain the voice of the previous gender. to fix this, you just need to die in some way. but if you play on Hardcore, then this is unlikely to help you, and on the contrary, it will make things worse.

Finally, if you have any questions or problems, don't hesitate to ask or ask for help, I will (possibly) help you.
Also, if there are any errors in the manual, please write about them, I will definitely correct them.
