Commands to AI characters (remote and local)

[null]

Playing solo with AI puts you at a massive disadvantage and one of the reasons for that is the fact you can't command AI to do even a fraction of things a player would do.
These are the things I think can be implemented relatively cheap:

• Hotkeys (1,2 for characters, 3 for bot with confirmation) for each character. Radial menu is clunky.
  
  • Hotkey in regular gameplay is pressed to command AI to Stay or hold to get it to follow.
    
  • Hotkey press on map should command AI to go to specified location.
    
  • Hotkey press on mining bot should command AI to follow Follow/Defend the mining bot.
    
• Same hotkeys in another combination (such as Shift+1/2) should be usable to swap to corresponding character, instead of spamming space to cycle to the next.

These can also be used as a ping in multiplayer, but I'd keep it dedicated to control bots when a player quits

Bonus: Pause the game when map is open in solo mode (mostly for controller users).
