Whats New
[h2]Nighttime Glow[/h2]
All glowing buildings will now light up the darkness! This change is purely visual, but it helps navigation at night, and adds a lot of depth to the darkness.
[h2]Dedicated Servers[/h2]
Starground now has dedicated servers! This allows everyone to host a game without having to be a player and have visuals. To install your own dedicated server, you can get it from the included Steam tool called Starground Dedicated Server!
You can also join in on the first public Starground server by using the default port 4433, and connecting to 15.204.242.62
Dedicated servers are still sort of experimental, so let me know if you run into any issues!
