and yeah recalling on tanks is a good idea but doesn't work with dragoons also, they will mine the mineral that they were issued to mine so if you right click the natural minerals then press return cargo, yeah you get the money up front and they continue to the natural minerals | ||

If you mine from base 1 for example and ur worker holds minerals from the mineral line from base 1 and hit C - the worker will go back to the nearest base, leave resources, and then proceed to mine from base 1. If you tell ur workers to go mine from base 2 and hit C - the workers that hold any resources will leave them to the nearest base and continue to the mineral line at base 2. Also, cargo is really useful if u have scouting probe that holds any resources and you need to make it move to a mineral asap - then u just hit C and don't need to press keys to move to a mineral line or gas station to make the worker run away. | ||

Here's a full TL;DR for anyone stumbling in this thread: Workers will always mine from the patch you tell them to. But if they already have cargo, pressing "c" will force them to bring minerals to the closest nexus/CC/hatch and then continue with your instructions. So when you are transferring probes to a new base, press "c" right after telling them to transfer, and the ones with cargo will drop it off first. Method: 1. Grab 12 workers at base A 2. Right click mineral patch at base B 3. Press "c" immediately | ||

Will the worker mineral walk without vision? It will yes, it's a way of mineral walking up their ramp without breaking any of the rules.

That's why I always mine some of their minerals with my scouting SCV  | ||

So beware when trying to quickly saturate a geyser with transferred workers using this trick. | ||

With one exception: If you send a mineral-holding worker to a geyser, then press C, the worker will resume mineral mining after returning the minerals. Geyser to geyser transfer and geyser to mineral transfer works just fine, though. So beware when trying to quickly saturate a geyser with transferred workers, using this trick. If you send a gas-holding worker to the minerals and hit C it will return the gas and go to mine the minerals. Edit: that's basically what you said lol. | ||

I was wondering how useful this was, so I ran some tests. Normally my scouting scv arrives at his base at 1:45 and the first dragoon or ling (12 hatch) comes out at around 3:20. I ran a test by using and not using the trick and seeing how many minerals I have at 3:20 with 1 base making scvs non stop. When not using the trick, the scv is just stopped. Normal mining: 1210 minerals at 3:20 With mineral block trick: 1170 minerals So you prevent your opponent from mining 40 minerals, more or less. Not sure how much that can affect his BO. Maybe it delays the 2nd pylon for protoss, for example. | ||

With low APM players like me, this could prevent REAL workers non stop. | ||

Now the difficult part about this return cargo trick is that its easily forgettable, so it needs some practice just to remember it when needed. | ||

Can't this workers-transfer-trick be added to Liquipedia or have some light on it like the Total Recall (which might happen only in PvT) !!! I hope that not only the elite, can talk loudly here. | ||
