Bots Charge When Idle

Description
Continued from https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2881360960

Github link is https://github.com/dougbenham/Rimworld-BotsChargeWhenIdle

Prevents friendly mechanoids from wandering around when idle - they instead go to any available charging stations or go dormant (mod respects max charge levels from mech groups)

Only applies to bots set to "work" order from their mech group, escort bots and bots already set to charge or dormancy will be unaffected.

Also does not appy to militors as their wandering seems more thematically appropriate.

@Doug - Any chance we can have escort bots go idle when their guarded pawn is sleeping?

Some of my idle mechs keep getting stuck in a recharge/dormant cycle. Sometimes, giving a job or manually directing them to another charger works, but not always. Suggestions?

When a room is filled with furniture or too many other pawns, leaving no space to stand, robots ignore zone restrictions and move there to enter an idle state. Ignoring zone restrictions is a serious issue.Spaceships are very cramped, and robots frequently moving outside the designated spaceship zones has been a significant problem.

@PGMT that may be because you set them to recharge when they are down to 95%
i left them at 5% and dont have such problems

The mod sometimes also prevents you leaving the map after forming a caravan. Most likely because one of the bots its recharging or something.

The mod works ok but the mechs keep going back and forward between tasks. Specifically the agri mech moves back to the recharger ( set at 95% ) , go and chop 1 tree then move back to recharge, then chop another tree... and repeating. Until another mech obstructs the recharger.

This mod, unlike the other mod that purports to do the same, actually works. This one is great, and you did a good job updating it. Thank you.

Any thoughts on a 1.6 update?
