[Mod Request] Mining suspension

[deshara218]

Mod idea: When there are no constructions pending (that require metal), mining is suspended. That way you could prioritize building over mining, and your pawns will go off to mine when they need the steel and then stop once what they would need it for is completed

You can do this in the work priorities tab.  If construction is a higher priority they will build first.  When they run out of materials (Steel) they will switch to mining.

It's already setup like this by default.  Your pawn job assignments are based on their skills, however.  So your construction pawns may not be your mining pawns but you can force all that.

On a related note, it might be cool to have a 'suspend mining' button on the GUI somewhere, so that if you've got a billion tiles designated for mining, but you currently don't need any ore, you can suspend mining temporarily to let your miners do other jobs without having to cancel all the mining jobs and re-add them later.
