hence 'he is either trolling or an idiot', especially since the description was already linked. given his post history one would suspect the former

Harvest, harvest next without having to wait for the first one to finish. It works fine in many games with clickable interactions, in fact it's so standardized I could tell you with almost absolute certainty to hold shift to queue the second one. Nobody has given you an example because it's painfully obvious to anyone who can think of 2 separate action in a row in a game that offers hundreds of possible actions.

That still involves the same amount of clicks though.

I seriously had no idea what "waypoints" were in gaming terminology, and the link you gave listed off various path finding forms of waypoints but also talked about giving a task based series of commands to units so I was unsure if you meant something like milestones or something more like "butcher then cook" commands. It doesn't really matter because no matter what I say I'm labeled as a troll anyway.

But all at once, rather than having to wait on an action to complete before you tell the client to perform the next action.

Seems like it might be possible to add this capability via a custom client...

Hmm a custom client you say? But who would do that?
