EA Patch #21: Another week, another patch!

Greetings Overseers!

Today we have some major fixes to AI, overhauled Pirate system, and some fixes for common structure/base building exploits and bugs.

In order to accommodate these changes, we have had to wipe old save files as they were incompatible with some of the new systems.

Please see below for the full patch notes.

STRUCTURES

Fixup "old pipes" becoming invisible
Cube is now replaced with a foundation, which is now stackable but won't allow exploiting supports

Fix daily drop pod not informing players where it landed

AI will now automatically "unstuck" themselves when they fall into the "confused" state if they can't move

Make sure Pirate raids don't get "stuck" and last forever
