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 On September 07 2004 01:52 Breeze wrote: 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. if u get it =P | ||

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. | ||

I seriously doubt that they will go and collect minerals (or gas for that matter) with this command unless their allready carrying it. 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. | ||
