[bug] Automated workers prioritize total garbage

[*M*]

I just tried to play with automated workers, the result was really really bad.

The AI hasn't sent any worker to build a quarry to get that precious marble for 30 turns.... but decided to storm another city close by with 6 workers to build 5 farms and 1 mine.

And sometimes, if you build a worker in a completely unimproved city to have it improved, they just speed away to spam a decently improved citiy with three times more improvements than it can work

I just automated some workers for the first time, and saw similar results. I bought a worker on an island city, which was totally unimproved and the city on it had a pupulation of 8, working these unimproved tiles.
The worker started embarking to the ocean, and swimming back to the mainland 15 tiles away.

Had 2 minor other reports seen, where it was mentioned that the option "build road to" does not work, and also that workers randomly embark.
But it seems that it can't be reproduced with a save.

In the example, the workers could be upgrading plains in preference to desert or tundra. Just a suggestion.

I think the automared workers don't even improve desert tiles if its not a hill or it has some resource. In some my games I have seen them standing still even if there were desert tiles that had no improvements when they were automated.
