1. A work machine control system comprising:
cost factor logic processed by a processor of the control system to obtain a cost factor for a resource;
cost variable logic processed by the processor to obtain a consumption signal from a consumption sensor indicative of consumption of the resource;
fill measurement logic processed by the processor and configured to receive a fill signal from a fill sensor, the fill signal indicative of a fill state of a container of an earth-moving work machine;
fill target logic processed by the processor to determine a target fill level of the resource within the container based on the cost factor, the consumption signal and the fill signal; and
control logic processed by the processor to generate a machine control signal based on the target fill level to control an actuator of the earth-moving work machine.
