Promote underranked engineers

[Jian-Wuyou]

If an engineer is crafting, for example, steel (which has an optimal rank of 2), and they are of a lower rank, then attempt to promote them to the proper rank.

Code I've manually been pasting onto the console for this:

game.village.sim.kittens.filter(kitten => kitten.job == "engineer").forEach(
    kitten => game.village.sim.promote(
        kitten,
        game.workshop.getCraft(kitten.engineerSpeciality).tier
    )
)

Edit to account for engineers not working on anything:

game.village.sim.kittens.filter(kitten => kitten.job == "engineer").forEach(
    kitten => {
        var resource = kitten.engineerSpeciality;
        var tier = resource == null ? -1 : game.workshop.getCraft(resource).tier;
        game.village.sim.promote(kitten, tier);
    }
)

That sounds like a reasonable addition and thanks for already providing the code! It'll take some time before I would be able to integrate this though.

I'm wondering though, what's the point of using Engineers if you can already automate crafting?

Personally, I've been using Engineers for offline progression stuff.
idk if Engineers also craft when you shatter TCs (since I have not reached that stage of the game yet)

In any case, using Promote Kittens button is just annoying since it promotes kittens indiscriminately (wasted player time having to wait for the gold to build up again) and by at most one rank at a time
