Allow for Tree/Stone Hand mining when holding a blueprint/blueprint book in your hands. Too many times there was this one tree that I wanted to get rid off and I forgot to deselect the blueprint in my hand. Why is it actually forbidden to use the mine function when holding a blueprint?

That would be useful.

Sometimes I don't want to press shift to force a blueprint, because is there is an obstacle like a power pole, the blueprint would be constructed anyway and i wouldn't know about the obstacle. So manually mining that tree to click the blueprint and see it perfectly fit would save fews clicks. Anyway I suppose that the gain it to little for the devs to work on it.
