Hello Global Farmers!

We already tested most of those changes on our beta branch "experimental" with the version 0.8.10 were we could confirm that most issues were fixed. If you having still troubles getting into the game with this update, please get back at use in Steam or via discord, it helps us greatly to make the game accessible to all our players. Thanks to everybody that contributed to help us fix these things.
