4. Performance notes on game options

Several of the options in the Options menu may increase game
performance at the cost of game visuals.

These options include:

(Options/Preferences)

- Animal ratio: Setting this to LOW will decrease the number of
animals displayed on the screen at once. Setting this to HIGH will
increase the number of animals displayed on the screen. The game
will likely have an increased performance with fewer animals
displayed on the screen.

- Crop plant density: Setting this to LOW will decrease the number
of plants displayed on the screen at once. Setting this to HIGH
will increase the number of crops displayed on the screen. The
game will likely have an increased performance with fewer crops
displayed on the screen.
