Small Farming Patch 1.0.5.5

Hey everyone, small patch today focusing on farming issues and optimisations.

Fixed issues with farms not growing, dirt colour not accurately showing the water level and lattices incorrectly requiring water. There have also been more performance improvements with large scale farms and the lag associated with big farms being rendered on screen, lots more optimisations are still in the pipeline to be added soon.

There will be another bug fixing and optimisations focused patch just before Christmas, then we will take a break for a few days and begin working in the new year making lots of new content for you all!
