Regression of:	#63 Hacking Pod Gets Stuck Inside Power Station During Industrial Sabotage Mission This issue was created as a new bug instead of being marked as a duplicate because the original issue was already Closed.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Generate the same map
2. Terain generated inside the power station
3. Removing terrain did not fix it
4. Aborted the mission

Explanation

Hacking power station was broken during industrial sabotage mission - tried everything - to connect from above and below. Run the lines around the power station.
One reddit thread from 4 years ago mentions terrain generated inside the power station. I smacked the power station with the pickaxe and yes got crystal and normal earth inside by sound cue. Can also see crystal in the first screenshot in the corner. (got also "invisible" one inside the station)
Then I dug out the terrain around the power station - leaving small bits to see the "collapse" and still the line didn't want to connect.
Device data is misleading i have 24GBs of RAM (busted one stick)
This was the first power station. So most of the mission was me throwing connectors around and digging.
Gunner with armscore coil gun and a dream.
One oddity: the power line leading to the powerstation (terrain generated) was going through a "deditacted channel" through the terrain just big enough for the cable and not a dwarf. (haven't seen that previously, usually it went through a tunnel to the chamber)
