Bots charge when idle

Description
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)

Also adds a constant interrupt check while bots charge via these methods to do available work rather than just charging to full every time

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.

I've only got the basic bots unlocked on my save so far, let me know if advanced bots break anything or need additional rules to feel good.

1.5 patch on release or is it in progress?

This mod works well for small mechanoids aka lifter but something like tunneller is not.
It charges to 20-30% (with set 100 number) interrupts recharge at 30%, goes mining to the opposite side of the map, mines few tiles and goes back to charge, charges to 20-30% and repeats all this BS.

It would be really cool to have an option to toggle this recharge interrupt for some bots only.

Do you think it would be possible to add mod options to let other mechs Patrol? There are some really cool lookin' mechs from Alpha Mechs and Reinforced Mechanoids that would look kickass if they were allowed to patrol like the militors but they unfortunately go to recharge immediately. If it's not something you're interested in, thats completely fine!

There is a small problem - you can't really set stabdby spot for mechs with this mod.

Example: I charging station, bot, and a zone that includes charging station and a single cell where I want bot to standby (it is extremely slow so need it to be ready for combat at position).

Bot charges to full, and moves to that point. But it spends some energuy doing that, and upon arrival it sees taht it is not full and returns to charging station. Rinse, repeat.

So the only way is to manually set it to standby where needed after recharging.

awesome mod, lifesaver! one idea though: can we make a button to turn the feature off manually? my cleansweeper is going crazy lol
