My town isn’t that big, its quite small only 2 builds have been made. But other then that theirs thousands of items in chest and in my stock piles. I have about 10 farms, with 20 hearthstoneians  
My computer is quite beefy  
i7-3770 3.4ghz  
GTX960  
8GB RAM  
windows 8.1  
I personally can run all games on ultra Or max settings with little to no problem. But when I load up stonehearth it lags so bad I can’t do anything ☹ I can move the screen but it keeps skipping on normal speed too. Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if their are any fixs? seems quite silly im lagging.

Hey there @TheWayREAL, welcome to the Discourse! Sorry to hear about the lag issues.

First off, please remember that the game is still in alpha, and the devs have not completely optimized the game yet. That being said, they are always looking to improve the performance with each release, so reports like this can be really helpful. As everyone’s definition of “big” is different, would you mind uploading your save game so the devs can take a look at it? To upload a save locate the folder (default is `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stonehearth\saved_games` assuming Steam) and copy the folder to a cloud storage site like Dropbox, Google Drive, File Dropper, etc. and post the sharing link here.
