#1741 closed defect (fixed)

Citizen-soldiers don't visibly shuttle resources when queue-ordered to drop resources

Description

The bad behavior:

  1. Select some citizen-soldiers that are harvesting.
  2. Shift-click (queue-order) them to drop their resources at the Civ Centre, then build a house or something.
  3. They will walk to the civ centre in formation normally instead of shuttling (visibly carrying resources), then disband at the civ centre to drop off the resources, at which time the resources they are carrying are visible again for only a brief moment.

What should happen instead: When walking to drop off the resources they should "shuttle" the resources, i.e. visibly carry the resources, until the resources are dropped at the dropsite, then they can move on to their next order in the queue-order.

Right now, if dropping a resource is part of the order-queue, you won't see them carrying the resources until the very last moment, when the formation is disbanded. They then reform to move on to the next order.

Instead, during the entire "drop resources" order they should probably be shown carrying their resource to the dropsite, whether they are in formation or not.
