Description of the bug

On shivas snowball, if a comms tower generates on snow and a hive cluster is built before all four tiles have been cleared, the tower will not convert to the pylon state.

What's the difference with what should have happened?

Comms pylon should probably override the state of the tile below it to prevent mechanical exploits, ie clearing all snow around a tower except the snow under it to prevent its capture.

How do we reproduce this bug?

In a round where a comms tower generates on snow, try to convert it with a hive cluster while at least 1 tile under it remains snow. If the snow is cleared, the cluster cannot be repaired to expand over the missing tile and another cluster being built will not fill it in.
