<p dir="auto">Forged alliance has a robust queuing system and transport system, that seem to be at odds with one another in plenty of cases, especially engineers.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<ol>
<li>When an engineer is  on a transport, it cannot receive any orders barring an unload order.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>
<ol start="2">
<li>When an engineer  with  queued orders are on a transport its almost impossible to determine  what order is has vs the  other engineers.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>
<ol start="3">
<li>In the selection bar, its  impossible to see which engineer, is assigned what.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">So simple efficiency such as, dropping six engineers on six different mexes to build them all queued up is borderline impossible.</p>
<p dir="auto">Previously one needed to ensure they got on 1 by 1 in the right order, and that you remembered which order you queued the mexes. Or the player needed to drop them off one by one without a queued build order and just give the order as they land.</p>
<p dir="auto">Additionally, we all know the most efficient way to eco generally is to have a cluster of engineers upgrade a mex 1 by 1. However, engineers are the slowest (non ACU/scathis) unit in the game. Making travel time a major factor to be worked around. Resulting in an ideal eco having a couple groups of engineers alternating pause orders. to mitigate travel issues.</p>
<p dir="auto">Queuing up transportation in-between was possible but extremely tedious and error prone.</p>

<h1>DropEngie mitigates and simplifies these problems</h1>
<p dir="auto">With one hotkey both of these issues are solved.</p>
<p dir="auto"><em>Select engies-&gt;hold shift place a move order-&gt;hold shift, right-click on transport-&gt;hold shift queue a  mex for each engie selected-&gt;distrubute orders-&gt;once  engies  are loaded into transport, select the transport -&gt; press the  hotkey, release the hotkey-&gt; hold shift and left-click on the queued mexes-&gt; the right engie will drop on the right mex everytime</em></p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>WIP</strong> at some point i may have nice gifs and guides but currently watch the <a href="https://youtu.be/zbK1OTWrzmc" rel="nofollow ugc">video</a> and read the description.</p>
