Smarter Construction

Stop your pawns from constantly building themselves into a wall or blocking something that hasn't been built yet. Great for filling sapper tunnels and rebuilding walls.

Currently only affects construction (not installing minified structures). Can be added and removed from saves. Right click => construct will bypass the mod so you can trap things intentionally.

• Blueprints: fully compatible
  
• Misc. Robots++: fully compatible
  
• Home Mover: uses minify and install so it can still trap pawns
  
• Replace Stuff: uses custom code so it can still trap pawns
  
• Achtung!: if you force construction this mod won't apply, but it isn't really an issue since it has custom forced job logic
  
• Linux: compatible again!

Now even faster, and with much less fps drop! Profiling revealed a 1.5% slowdown at the peak of the second gif (10 builders and ~600 wall segments at max speed), and no impact when not constructing anything. For optimization purposes areas of 50 100 tiles+ are considered open.

Please post it in the bug reports thread with a full log and a screenshot if applicable.
