Fixed an issue where folks that were being blocked could sometimes caused in-game stuttering

We're super grateful for everyone letting us know about issues and giving us feedback on things that are working well (and not so well) in the game!

For this patch, we've been hard at work fixing some severe performance issues. If you were previously experiencing performance issues - especially related to VRAM usage - this release should improve your experience by a lot.

Additionally, linux users on non-ubuntu systems should now be able to properly proceed in the game!

Full changelog 0.6.7.2:

• Significantly reduced video memory usage
  
• Fixed an issue that caused Linux users to not be able to proceed in the game
  
• Rock resources now more accurately reflects the remaining amount of stone
  
• Wheat fields are harvested in a more random pattern
  
• Pressing space now toggles the pause mode on and off
  
• Added building steps to more buildings
  
• Slightly increased the spawn rate for fish
  

This hotfix release addresses some multiplayer issues:

• Potential fix for an issue that causes multiplayer desync at the beginning of the game
  
• Fixes an issue where multiplayer players are unable to control their own settlements after re-joining a session
  

The day is finally here, where you all get to try our cozy settlement builder with charming little citizens and endless possibilities. In Folklands - available right now in Early Access - you’ll guide a growing village, nurture your folks, harvest resources and manage production to help your settlement thrive and expand. Build at your own pace, experiment with new structures, and discover creative ways to support your villagers.
