Robot UPS improvement

by Konage

Current logistic/construction manager algorithm is fairly UPS heavy. This mod basically increases UPS at the cost of a less ''acccurate'' manager. Worth it for megabasing. NOTE: Could lead to "weird" behaviour that is more noticeable in the early game. Recommended to enable after you've reached the point of using >1000 bots at all times.

The logistic/construction manager algorithms can become quite UPS heavy in certain scenarios (especially for megabasing). This mod modifies them slightly which can lead up to 90% less update time! Roughly speaking, normally the logistic/construction managers would ideally check every bot's distance to the "job" and find the one that would arrive the fastest (or is closest). With the mod, the construction/logistic managers act as if the bots move at unrealistic speeds, which makes them assign the first bot they check for every job, rather than looping through numerous bots until they find the optimal one.
