Spawn rubbish in town, create job to clean up

[SickBoySB]

The idea is to utilize the plethora of debris models in a way where they periodically spawn with the boundaries of the civilization, then periodically create an "off shift" job of very low priority to clean it up.

• Trait weighted (organized, naturalist, etc. vs lazy/etc)?
• Type of debris based on proximity to particular workshop?
• "Dropped" by colonists after particular actions, or randomly spawned?
• Memory/anger/etc. impact?

[SickBoySB]

Initial tests work great! Rubbish is spawnable, triggerable whenever desired (chance based, guaranteed, whatever).

TODO:

• Z-index needs to be taken into account
• Weight based on traits
• Specific debris options for specific stuff
• Weight based on whether they've been drinking (?)
• Impact from witnessing it (maybe already in place? need to find out)
• Automatic job creation to clean up?
• Automatic (timed) decomposing?

Put the function in FSM.lua for now. Probably the ideal place, since colonists are the dirty birds and their actions are what is most likely to trigger it.

Z-index isn't possible to get. Another solution is needed.

Forcing the item into their hands then performing drop_item.fsm may work? Hrm.. needs some consideration and may not actually be possible, unfortunately. Turning a clearable into an actual item seems like a bad idea.

Maybe take a look at how bandit tents are spawned?

Okay so using ITEM creation rather than CLEARABLE creation works like a charm. The item is subsequently placed on top of anything... stockpiles, floors in buildings, etc.

local results = query("scriptManager", "scriptCreateGameObjectRequest", "item", { legacyString = "logs"} )[1]

send(results,"ClaimItem")

local positionResult = query("gameSpatialDictionary", "nearbyEmptyGridSquare", state.AI.position, 2)[1]

local x = positionResult.x --+ rand(-1,1)
local y = positionResult.y --+ rand(-1,1)

send(results,"GameObjectPlace",positionResult.x,positionResult.y  )
send("rendCommandManager", "odinRendererCreateParticleSystemMessage", "DustPuffV1", x, y)

This means implementation is possible, but would change how things work.

• Rubbish would need to be turned into an actual item
• Because of being an item, manual code to randomly rotate is needed (I think it's just an additional variable or tag?)
• If rotting is desired, that would have to be taken into account... I think clearables are the only ones that do that?
• The claimed/not-claimed state will need to be examined. If possible, a middle-ground.. or at least a MUCH lower priority to bother picking up rubbish. Or not? Rubbish is supposed to be a hinderance, after all... either way, being an item triggers a lot of behavior that may not be desired.
• Using 'nearbyEmptyGridSquare' needs to be examined. We DO want rubbish on farms, underneath feet. under items,, etc. after all... but not under modules.

Example code is in module.go and clearable.go. Rotting tags and whatnot are in edb files.
