Description

Description

If a Mine is not fully built and nothing is building it, a minelayer cannot pick up the building again

Expected Behaviour

Minelayer vehicles should be able to assist in constructing any of the buildings available to it, so that if a command is issued, cancelling the progress of a mine being built, then another command can be issued to continue the progress of the mine

Actual Behaviour

the only way for a minelayer vehicle to construct anything is for it to start the construction of it

Reproduction steps

start building a heavy mine (works with anything, really) with a minelayer vehicle. Then cancel construction. Then realize that you cannot issue a command to continue construction on heavy mine.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the minelayer vehicle's build state machine and the logic for resuming construction of partially built mines. Focus on how the game tracks build progress and whether the unit can re target an existing structure.
