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). Right click => construct will bypass the mod so you can trap things intentionally. Can be added and removed from saves, removing gives some one-time errors you can ignore.

• 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.
