This is the first round of fixes to specifically address NPC pathing issues.
Major changes to NPC pathing - this is a work in progress and the first phase of major fixes and changes to cleanup NPC pathing. NPCs should get stuck much less often now. Focus is on the builder map pathing, combat will be cleaned up after. For any that still get stuck, the best recovery suggestion is to have them follow you to the point they teleport to you, then stop following.

The public_beta will be kept up to date as new builds come out so you don't have to switch back to the default full game version. Just note that builds under public_beta may contain other bugs and issues not found in the full game. The public_beta branch is used to test and preview upcoming changes so we can get bug reports and feedback before updating the full game version.
