A Zip Order is a common Transport order you wish to specify many times in a game, just by selecting the Zip Order name. Stars! provides four pre-defined Zip Orders (including Clear). You can't change the pre-defined orders, but you can add up to four custom zip orders.

Once you create a Custom Zip Order, it's available in all your games until you delete it. Here's how to create one:

  1. Specify the Transport order in the Waypoint Task tile.
  2. Set up the order you wish to add to the Zip Order list by selecting the appropriate cargo items and operations.
  3. Right-click on the blue diamond in the Waypoint Task tile.
  4. Select <Customize> from the popup menu. The Custom Zip Orders dialog appears.
  5. Select a Custom Order slot in the dialog.
  6. Click on Import. This copies in the current transport orders from the Waypoint Task tile. The Rename Zip Order dialog appears.
  7. Type the name, then click OK to close the dialog. The new order appears in the Custom Order dialog.
  8. Click OK in the Custom Order dialog.
  9. Right-click on the blue diamond again. Your custom Zip Order appears in the popup.

Editing a Custom Zip Order

⇒ Repeat steps 1 - 5 above, and in step 5, select the order you wish to modify.

⇒ Click on Import, then click OK to close the Rename Zip Order dialog.
