Still planning on getting an AAW walkthrough and more detail on Ops Planner as a couple of technical issues get resolved. But other than that and continuous updating, its pretty much final.

7.4.3 Mobile facility vs Ground unit and Split/Merge ground units

One of the most significant capabilities brought by the operation planner, is the possibility to have units
dynamically change mission. But not all types of units are eligible for this kind of behavior. As part of that, It is
important to understand the core difference between:
• Ground units as facility which is a legacy implementation where ground unit are assimilated as moving
“facility”
• Mobile facilities, a new implementation, which works like others active units such as aircraft, ships
etc…
The first hold a group of units abstractly represented as “mounts”, while the last is a fully simulated individual
unit. The core difference that interests us here is that ground units as facility are transported as cargo which
doesn’t have an existence in the simulation until it has landed (and spawned).
This means that we can’t assign or queue them a mission until they have landed, and you will not be able to
achieve a fully autonomous behavior for your units, in this case.
Since the 8th November 2021 update we allow cargo operation for active units, meaning that all these limitation
are now removed. However, you must have the right methodology to achieve this.

Unless you have to achieve backward compatibility or if a database entry is missing, you MUST use ground
units NOT mobiles facilities to use the operation planner at its fullest
