Description

Giving a build command will stack air units and also build 1 per each Commando selected.

Selecting 2 Commando to build a transport will end in 2 stacked transports, with no visual confirmation that its 2 of em.

I dont think its suppose to work like this? I would rather see Commandos build air units the same as ground units. I guess this is a part of the air-stacking 'bug' where air units dont have collision(?) on ground so they end up in the same place.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the Commando build logic to understand why multiple selected Commandos cause stacking of air units. Look at the unit creation and collision handling for air units to address the stacking behavior.
