"Complete the Manufacturing Site" contract soft lock

Repro steps:

  1. Accept the "Complete the Manufacturing Site" contract in the Verdure sector.
  2. Travel to the Viridian Halo and find the manufacturing site.
  3. Weld up any block, and note that the completed block count on the corresponding module increases to 1.
  4. Grind the block back down completely. Notice that the completed block count on that module goes back to 0, but the projection of the block does not reappear.
  5. Attempt to place a new instance of that block on the grid. Notice that it gives you an "unauthorized action" error because you are not the grid owner.
  6. You are now soft locked; there is no way to complete the contract.

Same problem with contract "Engineering - Industrial Foothold" with "Objective 2: Complete the Manufacturing Site". Removed Conveyor Curved to replace it with Conveyor T-Junction. But getting the message "Unauthorized Action : You don't have permission to perform this block placement operation on the target grid.

If I am not allowed to place a block, I should not be able to remove one.

Yea. I learned early on that altering the anything within the contract while it's active is a bad idea. One you can't add anything and the BP vanishes when the item is welded up. This isn't a bug but it's a pain. I would suggest having 2-3 saves before doing anything like contracts, building ships, and such. I have restarted over so many times because I don't do this often enough or just forget to.
