Bad behavior

Issue description

The vehicles in the game now are freezing for several second when they seem to be trying to think about what to do or where to go. I have about 110 vehicles in my save file, but ever since the update is when they started to freeze up.

Expected behavior

The vehicles before would almost immediately move to new locations to mine or to move around materials.

Game version

v0.4.8

no its definitely different, because its not just the trucks that are stopping but also the tree harvesters and the excavators that stop. It does not matter whether the game is moving at a faster speed or not, the vehicle will usually freeze up after performing an action (picking up resources, preparing to move, etc) and will preparing to perform another command.

Can confirm it's a duplicate of Trucks stop while recalculating after drop off by other truck of carried good

What's happening is when large storages are in place and multiple vehicles are accessing it, they create a line. Only one vehicle can access the storage at a time so when it does, the others wait to see if the job will still be available after that vehicle uses it (eg. if it's full or not)

A temporary solution for this is to use multiple smaller storages to provide backup locations for the vehicles to access, like this:

You can still feed them into the large storage and if a truck see's one of the storages is being accessed it will continue on to the next one.
