Don't understand how to Drop Off Cargo Manifest with Troop Units.

[Jazuke Taizago]

Like the title says. I got into an Abandoned Mining Outpost, got three Loots by picking up with my Troops. NO IDEA how to drop off the cargo they are carrying on their backs anywhere. They HAD a White Orb above their Status Bars, but not anymore after i teleported them back to Main Base, but i can see the Cargo on their backs.

If it is important, i am trying out Spy Faction.

Did you find an answer to this?

So you need to take it back to a good factory or load it into a troop transport > land on a trade/outpost and transfer the cargo.

There are 2 ways:
1. Pickup and fly back to goods factory to drop of on 'crate inserter"
2. Load into vehicle, by pressing I while flying, then moving to ship/station

Well. I do not have any problem playing as Industrial Faction. Since they use a Troop Transport. If i try and transport it using a Trooper Unit of any kind without a Transport Ship, i cannot do anything to Drop/Unload it to anywhere else.

The Spy Faction didn't have any Transport Ship, was trying to look for it. Had to rely entirely on Teleport function of theirs. Not sure about Science, but i have chosen to ignore them for now. But i DID find out that the AI as Science Faction managed to capture a Neutral Outpost, which indicates i SHOULD be able to do the same.

Spy faction can recall using their portal facility to send any troops at the insertion site back home. At which point simply select the troops who have come back and click the drop off items button.

Science has gate ships that deploy gateways from which troops at home base can enter the portal to seamlessly enter the new location through the gateway. To send troops back simply give a move order to the portal back to base.

Industrial has dropships which work like you expect. They have the longest time to get their stuff back since the troops must board the dropship then come back.

But that was what i was doing. Clicking the Drop Off button for the Items. NOTHING happens. They just stand around like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. As if the command is invalid.

Are they at your home base? Otherwise the command does nothing. You have to recall them first to your home base if playing as the spy faction or industrial.

Edit: NVM this sounds more like a bug. You might have to manually drop off the items via direct control and taking them to a crate offload area.

[Jazuke Taizago]

I have done all that and more. I tried going to different places in my Base, finding ANYWHERE they could drop it or some device to drop it at.

Yeah. I have not tried using Direct Control, yet. I'll try so next time when playing Spy Faction. Thanks for the suggestion!

So all three races have a good factory you can return the goods to. If you are doing it by hand you will find a "crate insert" located in this building by press X to throw your crate in. You can bring the troops back via the telebeam (spy) or probe (Science) or fly it back via shuttle. Note your troops can only carry 1 at a time.

If your using the troop transport (industrial) you can load it into the troop transport, fly it back to either the trade port or a outpost. Once landed click on the "manage" at the bottom or if your flying press "I" and drag the cargo into the HQ inventory.
