Memory optimizations for low memory devices!

A lot has changed especially with how we load the game to avoid large memory spikes that would prevent players from loading into new / existing saves. Our next update will bring more optimizations to our overall memory utilization and how we handle ground products like mowed grass and corn stalk/straw windrows.

Additionally we’ve made a lot of other bug fixes listed below.

Gameplay Updates:

• Combines can now toggle between chaff (standard) and depositing a windrow (corn stalks / straw).

• Ground products in windrows will stay closer to their original positions when the game is loaded.

• Updates to rake implements to improve FX
• Offroad vehicle physics improvements
• Offroad vehicles now capped at 80mph
