[0.17.75] Mining tiles destroys entities

Observed behavior: Mining a tile under an entity that would make that entity placement invalid destroys it.

Expected behavior: Mining a tile that would make an entity placement invalid mines the entity first, preserving the entity and its contents.

To recreate:
Space Exploration has a scaffold tile for use in space.
Launch a satellite to unlock the orbit surface.
Build something on the scaffold.
Mine the scaffold underneath the entity.
The entity vanishes without returning the item or its contents.

Might be easier to recreate in Mobile Factory.

I am going to say that this is not a bug (right now)

It is 'just how it works'.

If we ever add mining landfill to the base game, we will probably make it work a bit different
