Starground v0.11.1.0 is here! This update circles back and adds in some things that were initially meant for the big v11 update. Alongside new content, some backend stuff has been refactored, improving stability with Steam multiplayer and modding.
Whats New
Fish Sizes
Caught fish will now have a size that can stray away from an average size set. This also includes a new popup for when player's pick up items.
Space Hub NPCs
The Space Hub now has randomized NPCs that walk around and liven the place up a bit. While they don't add any gameplay as of right now, they can be expanded later to interact with the player or serve a purpose other than decorations.
As always, let me know on the Steam forums, or on Discord if you run into any new issues. Enjoy!
