âš¡ Best Graphics Settings for 60 FPS Optimization

🔥 Particle & Smoke Quality
Set to Medium. Hearth chimney smoke and blizzard snow particles are CPU-heavy when your village expands.
🌲 Foliage & Tree Draw Distance
Set to High. Crucial for spotting timber resources and wild berry patches across the mountain slopes.
💡 Dynamic Heat Lighting
Set to On. Enables realistic orange glowing warmth halos around hearths and braziers to help planning.
