Player Feedback on Patch 1.4

The patch covers a lot, but some players on Reddit pointed out one missing fix: manure heaps.

Players report that manure heaps can stop generating manure after loading a save. Since manure is useful as fertilizer, that bug can force players to build new heaps instead of relying on their existing setup. Hopefully it is already on the developer checklist, preferably not buried under actual manure.
