Hello everyone  
Recently I’ve started playing stonehearth again (haven’t played since A14) and I love all the changes btw  
Today I started the game I noticed that there is a lot of lag in both speeds, which is strange because I played fine yestarday and when I exited there was no lag (didn’t change anything, still at 16 hearthlings).  
Not running any programs besides stonehearth.  
My pc specs are the following:  
Intel I5 4200U  
4gb ram  
Nvidia 740m  
My game options are as follows:

Hey there @CptOrange16, welcome back!

It seems very odd that the game worked fine before saving and then had issues after load. Do you possibly have the save game where this is occurring, would be very useful for troubleshooting?

To upload a save, locate the folder in  
`C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stonehearth\saved_games` (assuming a default Steam install), zip the individual save’s folder (not the entire `saved_games` folder), and upload it. If the `*.zip` is less than 10 MB, feel free to upload it directly to the Discourse. If larger, please upload it to a cloud storage site like Dropbox, Google Drive, File Dropper, etc. and post the sharing link here.
