Loading space engineers

[pjflack]

From a consummate Newbie...

Could somebody tell me how you load a space engineer on to a space plane, rail launcher, etc. to get it into space?!? They don't move, so how do you load it onto something? There must be some instructions somewhere, but I can't figure it out.

Thanks for your patience...

You must have built a rail-launcher into the city where you buid your enginer. So you can launch it.

Or make your enginer sleep. Send a space plane in your town.
When your plane will land in the city ALL SLEEPING units will automaticaly be loaded in the space plane. The space-craft could then take off with its cargo.

Incidentally, to rail-launch you click the launch button in the same window as 'build city', 'fortify', etc.

Thanks-worked great.

2nd question off the subject (is that allowed/kosher?): Is there a specific year at which the game doesn't let you shoot for the Alien DNA? I think I have all the precursors, but I get no building options for the wormhole voyage, etc. at about year 2580.

Thanks

I heard about such bug, but you have to search in the Forum archive.
