i tried to adjust my resolution in the json so i can play fullscreen, i adjusted it to 1600x900 and launched the exe, and still no luck on it changing, i really hate playing games in window mode its just an OCD thing i suppose

Welcome to the forum, @nickrose9518 🙂

So when you enable fullscreen mode on the game settings and restart the game it doesn’t pick the correct resolution for your monitor?

Stonehearth has a ratio on the UI, so even in windowed mode there can appear black lines at the top and bottom to fill the window.

Do you have a screenshot of how it looks in fullscreen mode?

I think only the changes on user\_settings.json will affect the resolution.  
Do you have more than one monitor?
