Engie tune up is being interrupted by generator state change

As in title. In my case this is happening with petroleum generators (i dont know if for others this applies too). Dupe is going to perform tune-up, goes normally until my batteries are charged and send red signal to generators. After that dupe just cancels tuneup and this goes on forever, because tuneup time is longer then time it gets batteries to charge. 


Steps to Reproduce
- Build Petroleum generators and batteries. - Hook them up with automation, so that batteries will send red signal whenever they are full (or just whenever you want to interrupt tuneup job) - Wait for dupe to start performing tuneup and then make the signal red - Dupe will be interrupted and will have to start it all over again

Having this problem too on Windows. Setting an OR gate with a dupe sensor to keep it on when the smart batteries fill up doesn't seem to help either, still leaves when the smart batteries send a red signal.

Worse, it seems that it doesn't just interrupt: it removes the task entirely. Locked the Electrical Engineer in the power room and they just went idle until the smart batteries triggered the green signal again.

Wow, the interrupted task by battery signal might even arguibly be intended behaviour, but the OR gate with dupe sensor is totally a bug.

Just wanted to necro this to complain how I had the same issue, but I actually figured out why it was happening. If you put the Power control station in between Petroleum Generator and the Smart Battery, you likely got your Automation wire through the Power Control station Automation input by accident. So when the Red signal turns off the Generator (Or sends one Red signal to the OR Gate), the Power Control station also shuts down, and without it you can't use Engie's tune up.
