Summary0019799: Engineers choose repair targets very inefficiently
DescriptionAfter a large battle, I have a bunch of engineers on a planet and a bunch of turrets in "remains" form. The engineers all travel as a group to repair one turret at a time (which then happens very quickly). They then will seemingly pick another turret a long way from the first, then all fly as a group over there. The practical upshot is that engineers seem to spend most of their time flying very inefficiently between turrets, instead of repairing all nearby turrets at once.

Keith had noted that this algorithm was really bad and temporary. Thanks for taking on fixing this up when you get a chance. :)

Notes to self

The metal is actually spent in Faction.cs::DoFactionStepLogic(), look for references to MetalFlowPurpose.RepairingHullsOfFriendlies.

The code figures out what to spend metal on in MetalFlowPlanning.cs
That code seems to do something like this
    OuterCheckRepairable:
       If the unit that can spend metal is an RFD engineer, find all the units "near" it that need to be repaired
         then call DelegateHelper_MetalFlowPlanning_CheckRepairable to try to find the optimal target
   if OuterCheckRepairable found anything, add it to the list of things to repaid (plannedFlows.Recipipents.Add)
