Summary0029810: Gameplay - Player is able to infinitely place Wind Generator in the Network Tower, spending more Microbuilders than needed
DescriptionDescription:
Player is able to infinitely place Wind Generator in the Network Tower, spending more Microbuilders than needed and being able to still "place" Wind Generator when having 0 Microbuilders. Additionally, Network Tower isn't able to hold a Wind Generator, meaning player spends Microbuilders on nothing.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Progress naturally from Prologue to the "Electricity Generation" idea (after building Slurry Spiders and Microbuilder Mini-Fabs) / Load from attached save
2. Notice that player gains 3200 Microbuilders after unpacking "Electricity Generation" idea, which boosts their amount of Microbuilders to being able to place the Wind Generator
3. Navigate to Build Menu (b) > Electrical and select Large Wind Generator
4. Notice that after selecting it the Network Tower Lights up with blue color, indicating the Wind Generator can be placed there
5. Notice the tooltip is red when hovering over the Network Tower after selecting Large Wind Generator, indicating that the Wind Generator cannot be built there (yet in the tooltip it says "Right-click to build.")
6. Right-click on the Network Tower to build the Wind Generator
7. Notice the player is able to place the Wind Generator in the Network Tower again, despite it having the "Build in progress" animation (blue squares roaming over the building)
8. Repeat step 6 until reaching 0 Microbuilders
9. Notice the player is able to continue despite having 0 Microbuilders

Actual Result:
Player is able to infinitely place Wind Generator in the Network Tower, spending more Microbuilders than needed.

Expected Result:
Player is either unable to place the Wind Generator in the Network Tower, or able to place it only once.

Great catch, thank you! Will definitely need fixing before next demo build.

Thanks!

* Removed some remnant code that was still allowing you to install jobs into other jobs by clicking them in build mode.
** This was likely to cause a variety of problems, but the most notable one is that you could try to put infinite wind generators into the machine tower, and spend the resource to do so while having nothing happen.
