Transport Preserve Queue and Mobile Waypoint Widgets in Beyond All Reason

The Transport Preserve Queue widget keeps unit commands intact during loading and unloading. Mobile Waypoint adds transport AI but has known crash issues worth understanding before use.

Transport Preserve Queue

Standard transport loading strips all commands from a unit when it enters the transport belly. Transport Preserve Queue captures the full command stack before loading and reissues it after the unit exits. Issue orders for a t2 constructor to upgrade mexes, load it into a transport, fly it across the map, and the constructor resumes upgrading on arrival without manual requeuing. This removes the tedious setup step that usually follows transport drops and makes multi-leg logistics viable during active matches.

Mobile Waypoint Transport AI

Mobile Waypoint adds AI pathfinding behavior for transports. The widget handles pickup routing and drop sequencing automatically, reducing the micro burden on players managing multiple transport lines. The widget has a known crash trigger that activates during extended use. An infinite loop in the GetNearestTransport function causes the game to freeze when certain units cannot be transported. Developers have patched parts of the issue, but disabling Mobile Waypoint mid-match can also crash if other widgets depend on its state. Players should save before relying on the AI in critical matches.

Using Preserve Queue in Practice

Load a constructor with a full upgrade queue into a transport. Send it to the nearest mex cluster and let the widget handle the rest. Combine this with manual transport routing for the most reliable results. Keep Mobile Waypoint disabled as a safety measure until crash patches land fully. The preserve queue functionality works independently and provides the biggest practical improvement for most players.
