Starground v0.8.1.0 was released on August 30, 2024 as a stable release in the Early Access v0.8 update series.

Additions

• Introduced a decorations tab in the building menu
• Introduced a play button to the speaker, allowing players to play sounds for other people
• Introduced Krystian Stachyra to the translators credits (huge thanks for your work on Polish and Danish!)
• Introduced a minimap for the automation area
• Introduced preview connection lines that are displayed when placing down Tesla Coil
• Introduced a no connection icon that appears when a building is being placed outside of the range of a tesla coil
• Introduced the ability to close the pause menu with B on controller
• Introduced a controller keybind for rotating buildings (RS for now)
• Introduced a controller keybind for shift clicking items (RB for now)
• Introduced language support for Edikan (thanks Ategon, check him out on Twitch!)

Changes

• Refreshed all translations
• Changed the game so oil will now spawn outside the edges of the map (this is to prevent maps with only land from being unplayable)
• Lowered the hitbox of slimes to prevent them from getting stuck in some areas
• with the current window state, fullscreen mode not being saved on exit, and strange window appearance issues
• Changed the game so resources now spawn at a consistent rate for all map sizes
• Lowered the world size maximum from 512 to 256
• 512 words caused more problems than they solved, but maybe they'll return one day. Until then, all saves created as a 512 world will be completely fine
• Changed the game so the music delay setting is off by default
• Changed the game so first time users will have their local language set if it is one of the supported languages
• Introduced error checking for network connections. Now instead of the game stalling when a connection fails, it throws an appropriate error message and returns to the main menu
• Slightly shrunk the beach ball hitbox to prevent collision issues
• Raised the spawnrate of all resources
• Lowered the TCP timeout time from 30 to 10 seconds
• Raised the length of daytime and consequently made nighttime shorter. This is to help with visibility and to buff Solar Panel
• Changed the game so tesla coils have white overlays
• Changed the game so any building that uses power will make the tesla coil overlays activate
• Changed the game so Collector overlays overlap with tesla overlays
• Raised the resolution of all overlay radiuses
• Changed the game so you can no longer build Conveyor on top of the spawn platform
• Changed the game so the precision building offset is reset back to its origin when moving the right stick on controller
