Update 51.07: Easier reconstruction and pet protection

Hey everyone,

It's Alexandra here as we continue along with the routine patches after Adventure Mode release. We have quality of life fixes for Fortress Mode including the new ability to use the previous material when replacing constructions. No need to go back through the menus over and over again! Over in Adventure Mode your speed is now displayed properly. Lots of other adjustment and fixes here as well.

So far the lua tests are going smoothly and we are receiving really great feedback. If you're a mod-minded urist and want to play round with the lua update, you can check it out on the Experimental Branch.
