[OBSOLETE] Scrap Delivery Coordination

Description
NO LONGER NEEDED FOR X4 v7.0+; thank you all for your support!

--------

When delivering scrap, Manticores spread out to use all processors if possible.

This is inspired by another mod Multi Scrap Processor Fix, and I consider this mod to be an alternative of that mod.

More (technical) details in the GitHub readme, but the thinking is that, if it is expensive for Manticores to fail scrap delivery (and to retry), then just make them spread out and use all the scrap processors if possible. This greatly improves scrap processing throughput because most processors will therefore have something to process.

Thank you for the dedication my dude, this mod saved salvaging for me and im glad they finally fixed this but sad you no longer get the credit moving forward. God speed homes.

I have checked the 7.0 general release code, and I am quite satisfied with the new scrap delivery workflow. This mod is no longer needed for X4 7.0+!

@everyone

The v7.0 vanilla update (currently in beta) has improvements to scrap delivery. I haven't checked anything yet, but maybe the improvements are enough to make this mod obsolete.

Exact decisions will be made when 7.0 is generally available.

@everyone

Someone actually posted a bug report about "fast tugs" a long time ago, so do check the official updates for any fixes.

Interesting, I'll try that fix for my manticores. I put the Astrid engines on all my medium ships:steamhappy:

"I've placed the entry too close to the center of the station."
My station center is 5+ km from the station itself, so this is most likely not the problem.

but replacing the engines with a slower one seems to have made them work. in any case, now the resource is accumulating rather than decreasing).
p.s. Previously, manticores had Split military engines MK4 with a vanilla purple slingshot mod, they flew 400+)))

Allright, I found the issue on my end.

I've placed the entry too close to the center of the station.
Rotating the Scrap Processors by 180° solved the issue.
I don't know why, but it works now.
