At pg challenge 2001 Mr.X LAUGHED at Didi8 because he mineral clicked a probe back to his base, when it was carrying minerals, instead of just pressing C.

You can abuse return cargo to brake etc. a zealotwall in choke without having vision to enemy minerals.... Just like with the newly discovered worker stack bug Its a part of the 20 trix ums map

Thanks for bringing this up, I'd like to add a little tip, when you are like protoss on 6 and it's wicked hard to get the probe to the mineral because you end up grabbing like 2 or 3 bc they are bringing back to nexus, you can make a box aeround the probe (and geto thero nes too), and then shift click on mineral, and tha'tll make only that one go to the mineral.

I'll have to try that return cargo thing, it sounds really intersting and helpful. The only time I really use return cargo is when I am floating down a cc to my expo and i send my scvs too early and many of them are on route back to the cc and I highlight those ones and press c, making them see that the cc has landed and return minerals.

Also I use it in 13/15/21 trix ^^


i have a new tip, sounds simple but it does work

if ur scv/probe is holding a mineral and is going to build something, pressing shift + C is somewat way faster than dragging to see a mineral block and shift right clicking (return to work after building)

guess everyone is used to the shift right click way to get it back to work asap but heres something to think about

edit o nvm sorry

So big momma, what ur saying is that if u pick up a bunch of peons, some with and some without cargo and you want them to return to ur mineral line, c will make them ALL go? cuz honestly i didnt think it would work with peons that had no money in their hands.

Yes it will only work if your group of selected peons either all carry a mineral patch, or a mix of peons with or without one. The ones carrying mineral patch will automatically go to the nearest hatch/cc/nexus before going back to mine, and the ones without one will automatically go mining.

What the command "C" won't work on are if your selected peon(s) isn't carrying a mineral patch on hand.

This command works for gas as well.

Try it out yourself, it's much simpler than explaining.

Doesnt the return carbo icon appear only if they are carrying cargo? I seriously doubt that they will go and collect minerals (or gas for that matter) with this command unless their allready carrying it.

Almost nobody does this: When an expo goes up and i transfer 8-12 workers to it, I grab them, order to gather the minerals in nat and then immediately press "C". So instead of literally wasting time and money, uselessly carrying minerals on route to the expo, you get ~24-48 minerals ~5-10+ seconds faster for cost of pressing 1 button.

Think about it like this. When you select some marines with SCV, you can use hold position command so the SCV hold position too. They don't normally have the hold position command though. So if you have a few peon with and without mineral, it will work for all.
