Hello everyone! :)
This update introduces the new Season System, brings several gameplay improvements, visual updates, balancing changes, and important optimizations that significantly improve performance, especially in town.

Added Seasons. Each season lasts 28 in‑game days.
Added an error/feedback notification system to help players understand why certain actions can not be performed.
Buildings now display a progress indicator above the structure itself, even when not viewed through the UI.

Updated texture for oak trees.
