Description

Under the construction rules, superheavy meks mount a special kind of structure - Superheavy Endo Steel Structure, not regular Endo Steel Structure, and Superheavy Endo Steel Structure has no clan variant mentioned.

Therefore, we should not allow clan versions of Endo Steel/Composite on mixed-technology superheavy meks.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the code that assigns structure types to superheavy meks. Find where Endo Steel and Endo Composite structures are allowed, and add a check to prevent clan versions when the unit is a mixed technology superheavy mek.
