NPC Trading:
In our roadmap we announced that we would add a NPC shop for Update 0.2.0. There is a test NPC on your property where you can buy or sell items.

Performance Overhaul:
Through the great screenshots and videos you shared, we saw that many of you had to turn down the graphics settings significantly. We have therefore revised or adjusted almost every mesh, material and texture and significantly reduced the number of draw calls and hope that many of you achieve higher FPS numbers!
