Alpha 4 patch 6

Got some more new stuff for you to check out.

Older saves are supported as usually, but it is not recommended to demolish buildings finished in previous versions.

The “citizens stuck” bug is a bit tricky. There have been some changes made that may help sorting that out, but it needs more testing in the wild. So looking forward to your feedback!
