When you lift off you Factory, the Vulture can escape, obviously. Question to OP: What rank are you on ICCUP?
Not sure how this is relevant, but I was C+ last season.

yeah but if you go fact transition, you shouldnt need a 2nd rax, right? wouldnt walling with the fact be 150 mins saved?

well as long as you wall, you win, so why bother screwing around with odd factory positions?
then when you want to break out, you have to stop vult production on one of your facs.
it needlessly complicates things over 150 minerals which arent really relevant in this play

wouldn't one sunken colony have been enough?

wow, already cheese like this? lmao.

if you scout him making the rax there just take one drone and block the barracks from landing on the upper ground.

lifting and moving your factory 1 spot costs you a couple of seconds of build time, 150 minerals earlier on in the game off a relatively low econ build slows you significantly more. itd be better to use the fac as long as you're going 2 fac and you dont need an addon before the 2nd fac would finish.
