scenario alpha 0.1.6

Dear Community,

Big patch. In case you encounter problems, you can always load the "previous" branch in the steam beta settings. But we will try to hotfix asap in such a case.
We are greatful for everyone sending uns the automated bug reports. Rest assured that we don't collect any data except the savegame, crash text and in some cases game internal log data.
But most often there is no description added by the user so that it is hard/impossible to reproduce the crash. So please give us more infos on what you were doing last or supply your email adress for questions.
Thanks you very much!

Anyway, fixed about half of the crashes that were reported and solved the black tiles that were seen on Nookriums youtube video. Also implemented the new GUI!
And a lot of minor improvements :) Started adding more log info for the crashes we were unable to reproduce and continued the work on language support preparations.
