Patchnotes 0.5.5

• Complete overhaul of how villager needs work:

  • Instead, villagers can leave if their needs arent met.
  • Productivity can still be boosted above 100% if villager happiness is kept above certain thresholds.
  • Population level has been removed, so all needs can be worked on from the start of the game.
  • Villager demands will increase over time, so make sure to keep them happy.
• Massive UI rework:
  • The topbar is now centered, with the most important information taking center stage.
