Not at all. I will make the ptach for teamciv version this work and
let you know how it turned out. But it will be necessary to store the
work on the tile in that case. Imagine a settler who starts building
a mine and stops after 2 turns to build a road. There should be a
2/5 mine on that tile. But since the work is always stored on the
settler (to be more precise: the number of turns where he did not
change his activity) it is immidiately forgotten after he stops
to do something else (for example beeing idle).
