Customer AI Navigation Polish Patch v0.14.5.19

This is a small patch to improve AI pathfinding in general with the help of community reports. We apologize for your experience and thank you for your patience!

To keep new players up to date: we usually have an update cadence of content patch -> hotfix -> small patch -> hotfix -> content patch -> and so on.

We'll stay vigilant and won't move on to the next content patch until we feel satisfied with the current state of the game.

Thank you for the help and for sending us your save files! We do lots of testing on our end and don't expect people to send them in (we just want you to enjoy the game), but the save files made it significantly faster to pinpoint scenarios where issues can happen more frequently.

We'll still be monitoring feedback and performing more tests on our end to ensure everything is ironed out properly. Happy shopkeeping!
