🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Apply terrain avoidance at most once per AI decision.
Moving this block to the end prevents later actions from overwriting terrain avoidance, but MoveWithRandomTurn still runs once for every nearby terrain chunk. The helper updates ai.TargetPosition, ai.PreviousAngle, and control.LookAtPoint, so multiple chunks cause multiple random turns in one think cycle. The final direction is not based on the terrain positions and can be excessive or ineffective.
Call MoveWithRandomTurn once for the first matching chunk, then return from ChooseActions.
Possible implementation
foreach (var terrainChunk in terrainChunkDataCache)
{
if (position.Position.DistanceSquaredTo(terrainChunk.Position)
< Constants.AI_AVOID_TERRAIN_DISTANCE_SQUARED)
{
ai.MoveWithRandomTurn(1.0f, 1.0f, position.Position, ref control, speciesActivity, random);
+ return;

what if microbe just goes parrarell to the terrain chunk? It will still turn when it shouldn't. I think that it should work in such a way, that if microbe goes in the direction of the chunk it should turn at least 90 degrees

Despite the name, this isn't actually terrain chunks... it seems to only be for radioactive chunks basically, so non-engulfable chunks.
For this feature to work you should probably rename this and implement an actual terrain chunk list. The query should just query for MicrobeTerrainChunk and WorldPosition as terrain chunks conveniently have a custom component so they are easy to detect.
Additionally as terrain rarely moves, for performance reasons I think such a cache should only update once every 5-10 seconds.

Couldn't I just change the query for terrainChunkDataCache to what you said? The only other code that uses it (GetNearestRadioactiveChunk()) already explicitly skips non-radioactive chunks so I don't see how it would be a problem.

Based on a quick look at the code, it is currently used to avoid radioactive chunks. So it detecting all terrain wouldn't be good for the existing functionality.
Based on how you modify it, it would either never detect radioactive chunks or it would mean that the radioactive chunks check would need to inspect hundreds of potential chunks and reject most of them before it can process something.

We can potentially have tens of times more terrain chunks than other chunks (especially if the terrain overhaul PR gets merged). So I believe it is unusably slow to loop them all. Instead the AI should only do this when it gets stuck or some other way to limit how often this potentially massive loop runs.
Or alternatively we could divide the terrain chunks up into world segments and microbes only check the current and nearby segments thus cutting out most comparisons. That makes the cache build more expensive but I think that'll be easy to mitigate by making it happen less and less often as needed.

I think this is a bit complicated to reason about when the clear happens as this runs per AI think for each microbe. So instead I think the top level code should not clear terrain chunk cache each time, and instead have a timer (that defaults to like 30) and whenever that is above 10 the general code rebuilds the terrain chunk cache. This way the rebuild time is consistent and not dependent on how many microbes are thinking at once.

This query can still never see any terrain as it takes a compound storage in. You'll need a separate query to get the terrain chunks, and make it only build the terrain chunks cache, that'll make the separate timing much easier.

And also this, I'm quite unsure how effective this actually is.
Could you please make sure that after your next set of changes the microbe AI is effectively better around terrain chunks? Because due to the query, I think (I'm not 100% sure), not being able to find any terrain chunks. This movement shouldn't actually have been helping. So I'd optimally want to review this code next only after it is confirmed as working...
