There's a new Starbound patch, this one called " Enraged Koala ". Rather than having anything to do with incandescent marsupials, though, this update comes with a hint of amour - bringing both Valentine's items and the a capella crooning of YouTube's Smooth McGroove . The update also improves the early access sandbox's patching system, allowing the Chucklefish team to push out new game content on an almost daily basis.

You can find the full patch list below.

  • Valentine's Day items including swords, costumes, decorations, bow, etc

  • Engine feature, tech can now be granted by armors

  • Keybinding reconfiguration, minus the UI (you can reconfigure keys through a config file- check here for a tutorial )

  • Server stability fixes for servers with many players

  • New death animations

  • Engine feature, all objects are now scriptable and interactive

  • More Avian weaponry

  • Projectile changes

  • Dogs can now be captured (lots more pets coming soon)

  • A bunch of new items and smaller pieces of content

  • New (actually sounds good!) microphone instrument with sounds provided by Smooth McGroove!

  • Bug where warping to magma/volcano biomes caused crashing was fixed.
