Summary0003712: Power generator Automatic Hamster defect
Description(need a bug category for commands, or possible CTRLs, since other is the only place it could fit, other than maybe UI)

Automated Energy Hamsters are unable to tell the difference between built and under construction power generators, so my zenith power generator that is under construction (paused unless I have a reasonable amount of resources to sink into it, until it can be finished), will turn itself on (apparently it comes with the hamsters when bought) hence draining my economy unnecessarily, which is irritating, as it was the cause of my economy dying (and most of my planets afterwards, mostly my fault, prod with care) while building a large number of turrets and force fields (and telling the hamsters to work harder) to prepare for a devastating wave that was incoming due not only to the large budget for turret production, but for the zenith power generator as well. I had thought there was an issue with the generator reactivating it's construction periodically, but until I could reproduce it, i wasn't going to report it.

* Previously, the recently added ActivateHighestEfficiencyLowPowerEnergyReactor and PutLowestEfficiencyActiveEnergyReactorIntoLowPower keybinds were considering reactors that were still under construction. Hamster re-education has taken place (bug fixed).
** Thanks to Ranakastrasz for the report.
