Bak1 files are backup files used by various programs. They are stored in the player folder in the Starbound folder. For Steam, bak1 files are in C:/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/player. Starbound also uses .bak2 and .bak3.
To open a bak1 file, the same software used to create it is usually needed. If unknown, try a text editor or file viewer. But contents may not be readable without proper software.
Mistypes like ba1, bak and bk1 are common. Check if the extension is misspelled. We found similar extensions .ba1, .bak and .bk1.
Handle bak1 files carefully. Harmful software can use the extension too. Be cautious with bak1 files from unknown sources.
