Keep assisted ferry routes alive
One of the coolest but majorly underused features are ferry routes.
- You can set land factory waypoint to the route to send all units along
- you can set air factories waypoints to the route so new transports assist the ferry route
However: as soon as the initial transport gets shutdown, the ferry is removed completely. This makes investing time into complex routes a lost cause.
Suggestions: either a) if the leading transport dies, give ownership of the ferry route to a random assisting transport b) keep the ferry route even if all transports die so you can reuse it (you have to remove it manually)
I'm not sure where the beacon interaction is coded. The beacons do exist on the lua side as units, but I can not find where they are created and where they are destroyed. It appears all of this is done by the engine. @The-Balthazar do you have suggestions?
