Mining cargo bay with limit set causes infinite loop

My apologies for duplicates -- I did a quick search and couldn't find an existing report, so here goes...

When you have cargo bays attached to a landing pad, and set the limit (making most of the container red), and then try to mine (or get a bot to come pick it up) one of the cargo bays, the game goes into an infinite loop of trying to mine the bay, and then resetting the instruction, and then trying to mine it again.

You have to clear the limit before the bay is actually picked up.

Thanks for the report. Can you provide a save file that reproduces this? I'm not quite understanding the setup.

I'll see if I can reproduce it and attach a save file when I'm playing again...

In the interim, the way to reproduce it is:

- Set up a landing pad
- Add cargo bays to the landing pad (I had 2x attached)
- Set the content limit to something small (I only allowed the top row, which was filled with space science at the time -- the rest was coloured in red with the limit).
- Ask the bots to remove the cargo bays.

The result is that the bots cannot remove the bays until you clear the content limit.

Thanks for the information. I was able to reproduce the issue and it's now fixed for the next release.
