How do you manage civilian transport micromanagement?

How do you manage management of civilian transports? Does UCP mod allow ships built from a planet to automatically start a journey to a specified location or is the only choice to point and click each one then point and drop off one by one?

UCP does have two forms of rally points. The first, if you click the button will send the ship to the same destination as the last ship you gave an order to. The second, if you control + click a planet (I think that's the command), will put a rally marker on it. Control clicking rally on a ship will send that ship there.

No. There is no way to work around click each one.
UCP allows to unload all at once

Thanks. Some of the 'rally' functionality helps a bit. It's a shame how they implemented food and migration.

I'm starting to experiment with modifying the game to be less dependent on civilian transports. Doubt it is well-balanced at the moment but I'm liking taking out a tedious part of micromanagement and speeding up the gameplay so far. I'll see where this takes me

"Less Migration Mod" (done by making food more accessible to poor biomes, including farming, and increasing cost of civil transports)

Unfortunately that does not do the job. ctrl-click in the planet list is not working.

I just want to send colonizers easy to a planet i selected beforehand.
the rally button is not working - well, it is working in the way that it sends the ship to the location the last ship is located.

Right now looking into here:
https://masteroforion.fandom.com/wiki/Unofficial_Code_Patch

"RP1
The game automatically remembers your last manually selected fleet destination. This one has no visible marking. Pressing the Rally button will send a fleet to this rally point.
RP2
You can also select a colony you own on the galaxy map and mark it using CTRL + Click, this will put a blue pin on the colony top bar. Pressing the Rally button while holding the Ctrl key will send the fleet to this rally colony."

The ability to directly colonize from the planet list has been requested before, but there's no way at the moment to do what you want.
