Yes, we're trying to add more every major release.
For 6.1 we 'll probably add the CH's "cheapest insertion" and "regret 
insertion".
If you want to add one yourself, start by looking at 
DefaultLocalSearchSolverPhase.java.

Simulation support would be great indeed - but the requirements aren't 
clearly definied yet (feedback, examples or use cases welcome).

It's already possible to do simulation + optimization
by doing the simulation inside the score function (for example by 
running a monte carlo simulation)
and doing the optimization with optaplanner.

drools-chance (very experimental currently) has a lot of constructs that 
can help in simulation (bayes stuff etc).
