Ability to turn particles off/down

[sir_ghost]

I have a relatively slow computer, and I can only just play Stonehearth. One problem I find is that the particles from building accumulate while I’m not looking, and then when I look at the building all the particles appear at once, causing some lag (this could be a bug, but I’m not sure). So it would be quite useful to have a graphics option to turn down the number of particles.
Thanks

TL;DR: an option to turn down the number of particles would be helpful, especially on slow computers

Ah, this old bug/feature?:

Dust effect from item placement remains offscreen until camera moves over it

Title: Dust effect from item placement remains offscreen until camera moves over it. Summary: When citizens place blocks while building or plant crops in farms, there is a rather pleasing dust particle effect. However, when some of this takes place offscreen, when the camera then moves over the now placed blocks/crops, these missed dust effects are all played at once, which looks rather strange. Steps to reproduce: Simply have crops planted or a building built, have some of that take place off…

I kind of like it, but I suppose a particle option in the graphics is needed.

this old bug/feature

hmm, certainly sounds similar! perhaps a merge is in order…

I like the suggestion for “toggleable” particle effects though …
