This small Starground update addresses some game breaking issues people ran into after the launch of v0.9.0. In addition, it adds in some small QOL features, improves performance, and makes a change to inventory components for modding.

This will likely be the last version for v0.9 to cap things off for v0.10, which will be brought up again in a post about our roadmap and the plans for v0.10.

Let me know if any other issues come up, and thanks!
