It seems to me that when the drones are looking to dump waste rock, they pick a dumping site to use... at random? Definitely not the closest, and does not seem to be the emptiest either.
For example here I have 3 sources of waste rock within controller (rocket) range, and there is a dedicated dumping site right next to each of them, but the drones are happy to take a few hours to carry each individual rock across the whole base. That's a pretty massive hit to early-game efficiency, and you can't even micro them.
Any hints to convince the drones to use sane sites? I could just not build them I guess, and then clean up local messes with an RC controller with a very small range.
