How to update private Linux server

I tried using the PullAndBuildTestSystem.sh, but lots of errors poped up, complaining about can't do ln -s because of existing files.
I backed up all .db and settings/ files, then did a fresh build. Which is successful, but I lost my game data even after copying the *.db files back.
Am I doing this wrong? Is there a way to update prviate server without losing game data?

Re: How to update private Linux server

I found my old camp while wandering around. I believe the last death location is stored in a none db file. Since I only backup the db files, the server spawned me in a random location. All my stuffs survived the update. However, biomes seem to have changed around my camp, as well as new resources being generated. Overall, updating your Linux server is feasible and reasonably easy.

Re: How to update private Linux server

If you play a local server you might be interested in some settings you can toy with. Check out this reply by wondible and read that.

Most notably

echo 0 > settings/mapCellForgottenSeconds.ini
echo 1 > settings/skipLookTimeCleanup.ini
echo 0 > settings/longTermNoLookCullEnabled.ini
echo 1 > settings/forceEveLocation.ini
echo 0 > settings/forceEveLocationX.ini
echo 0 > settings/forceEveLocationY.ini
echo 0 > settings/forceEveAge.ini

Thanks, that helped!
