Summary0021652: Improved Auto-Build
DescriptionAt the moment it seems that when, for example, a Factory is being built on a planet from automation that factory goes further away from the command station the more ships are on the planet. It seems that the way it calculates the valid location collides with EVERYTHING, including ships, which places especially large objects like factories way outside reasonable ranges sometimes.

Would it be possible to have the auto-build only calculate collision with structures?

This might also be the root cause of issue 0021557 and other similar reports.

Thanks!

* When calculating safe placement points for structures that will auto-build, it now ignores mobile entities with a lower collision priority than the structure being placed; those will be able to decollide out of the way, after all, after the structure is auto-built.
** This is untested, but should work well and should keep factories and such from getting placed too far away when there are a bunch of small ships around the command station.
