Sometimes abandoned buildings and ruins can have locked doors

Fixed some situations where towns clash, eg if a player builds a huge town, or builds too close to other towns/nests and building ownership can come into conflict
Fixed map stacking
Fixed repeated knock-out animation loops when attempting to stealth-KO someone
Fixed building swaps for buildings in other faction's town.
Fixed crash dismantling building with mounted buildings. Also added some behavior.

Kenshi - Koomatzu

0.95.14 is out now! This is on experimental only, to opt-in you have to right-click on Kenshi in your Steam games list -> properties -> betas tab -> then choose “experimental”. 0.93.11 is the current stable version, recommended for less bug-prone gaming.

Fixed certain nests not spawning residents
Fixed criminals getting released from cages early
Probable fix for NPCs vanishing some time after being captured
Fixed a bug that stopped some of the biome entry conversations from triggering
Fixed carried dead characters being left behind when their old squad unloads
Fixed path following case causing character to stick on walls
