Better Refuel Torches

Something which bugged me about the game was that pawns will travel quite a distance, pick up a handful of wood, and bring it back to refuel a single torch lamp. This means that they waste a lot of time travelling, when they could have hauled some wood first then did the refuelling of multiple torches from a filled stockpile.

What this mod does is limit this behaviour when it comes to torches. For any other building which takes fuel, they will do what they usually do, because their survival might depend on them dragging a small amount of fuel to a campfire or to a wood-fired generator.

If there is no fuel in storage, pawns can still use loose fuel, but it has to be fairly close to the torch which is going to be refuelled. By default, it's 15 tiles, but you can adjust this to a lower or higher value as needed in the mod settings.

If there is fuel in storage, pawns will try to use that fuel first. It might be a good idea to have some small stockpiles of fuel around your colony so that they don't spend too much time walking all the way to a stockpile to pick up fuel.

Note that this only affects torches from the base game and DLCs, torches from mods will not be affected. Sorry!
