I never took the time to figure out how to use a Djinn. I've looked around but haven't found the precise steps for using it.

Can someone tell me the series of clicks and keys to get it to transport, please?

Thank you.

Djinn teleports units from a remote place to the djinn.

1) have djinn at the end point.
2) select djinn and press 'd'(alternatively search the orders UI for a blue spiral thing unique to djinn).
3) select a clear start point for the entrence. Left click to place. Know that there has to be a stardust sized area clear.
4) let the djinn channel for a couple of seconds(do not give any orders to the djinn)
5) given everything done properly (keep the area clear) a lamp should be placed at the start after the channel.
6) select the units to transport, and right click on the lamp. It should give a context order to teleport from the lamp to the Djinn.

Test and tell me if this is a good description.

I seem to be missing something.

If I right click on the lamppost, they return to the Djinn. How do I make the Djinn send them to the newly-made lamppost?

"Djinn teleports units from a remote place to the djinn."

Ah! Missed that. It's one way. I have to move my Djinn to where I want the units to go to first. I'll have to think about how to use that.

Thank you.

You can make a two-way portal by using two Djinns, of course.

The other obvious uses are:
- put lamp near factory and djinn on frontline, now your reinforcements arrive much faster
- put lamp at a staging point inside your base, sneak cloaked djinn through the enemy frontline, teleport lots of nasty stuff
- put djinn near a lot of caretakers, hold the lamp in reserve. Go attack something with your grizzlies, when damaged, create lamp near them and teleport to safety.
