A significant corruption issue occurred, meaning that I had to spend a few weeks troubleshooting and then eventually remaking and re-referencing parts of the game. This has caused the game .exe name to change, which means it is now named correctly. This also means that a large download is needed rather than a small patch on steam. The desktop shortcut will most likely not work and will need to be deleted and remade. There could easily be a few issues, but they can easily be fixed once I know about them.
Fixed workers taking logs to storage before checking if there is space.

Upcoming changes:
Fully procedural maps - no longer experimental like before
Performance increases for villagers to allow for much large villages.
Unreal Engine 5.1 updates that hopefully will allow for more of the new tools to be used.
Once these updates are completed, I will add more content and improve current content.
