Not sure if this has happened in previous 1.0 builds.

Circumstances: I laid the blueprint for a line of conduit under one of my fields with potato plants that were roughly 80-90% grown.

What happened: Rather than just build the conduit underneath the potatoes, my builder harvested the unfinished potatoes, built the conduit, and then planted new crops on top of the conduit.

What I expected: The conduit should be built under the growing crops, rather than forcing the crop growth to reset and the labor of plant cut/plant sow to occur in addition to the building.

While on the one hand I can accept the fact that you have to dig up soil to bury a power cable, and that would probably not be great for anything growing there, it seems arbitrary to force the cut and replant in order to build a conduit when the two items can naturally share a space. We don't have to destroy walls that need conduit run through them.
