Looks like we've got some position imbal going, I swear that 3:00 has been the losing-est position for me.

The closest ones aren't always the fastest to mine from because of the way that the pathing and deacceleration work out. SCV's have the worst acceleration/deacceleration problem, so it looks like when they choose to accelerate has the largest impact. I guess this means that different types of mineral patches/where they are placed have a larger impact on mining time than i suspected.

The progamers probably figured this out ~5 years ago

But i dident know exactly which ones were the slowest patches myself

this will also affect the best places to manner pylon
e.g. lowest spot at 9

That's really awesome to know. I was wondering if anyone was ever going to go over statistics of what mines fastest and which minerals are the best to split to

Edit: whoa some of these seem really weird. Am I reading these right?

Example:
6:00. According to your Stats, for the 4 Mineral clumps in the middle that are right to the left of the starting location, the farther Mineral blocks mine faster???

I think maybe that has something to do with the weird way that terran scvs decelerate. You should test this same thing with probes and drones and compare the results. I think it'd be really interesting.

My bad; I actually had 3:00 and 6:00 mixed up x_X

I just doublechecked everything and it should be right now
