Starground 0.14.0.0-ex2 Released

This is the first "real" release of an experimental build for Opis! (the first one being for bugfixes) This update includes a ton of things, mostly focusing on automation, general stability, and QOL.

Many of these changes were merged into the main branch in order to fix multiplayer issues, however they'll be reported on alongside these experimental releases and eventually the full release of 0.14.

Let me know on Discord or on Steam Forums how things are feeling balance-wise. I will continue to tweak things, add new buildings, and get this update ready for the 14th.

WHAT IS STARGROUND?

Starground is a top-down automation dungeon crawler combo. Alternate between gathering and refining resources on your home planet, and venturing across space to fight through action roguelite-inspired dungeons. How you split your time is entirely up to you! There's no right way to play the game, and any path will progress the story.

MULTIPLAYER

Starground was built up with multiplayer from the beginning. Experience what Starground has to offer as a full co-operative experience with as many friends as you'd like. Invite your friends to work towards common goals, or divide and conquer each part of the game. If multiplayer isn't your thing though, you can play alone in single player too!

AUTOMATION

Develop and maximize an island of resources through automation. Work your way through a research tree filled with all sorts of unique machines and solutions to your logistical needs. Start humble by mining resources by hand and smelting manually, but soon build up to a formidable factory that can tackle anything you can throw at it.

DUNGEONS

If you're not into automation, or need to wait for your factory, then venture to other places in the solar system to explore and crawl your way through a variety of dungeons. Battle enemies, avoid obstacles, kill bosses, and reap the rewards of your effort. Take resources from dungeons back to your factory, or use rare loot to make yourself stronger and craft modular weapons. Make a spear, dual-bladed sword, or maybe a gun on a stick. The choice is yours.

Be sure to add Starground to your Wishlist!
