No, if you hit C while transfering Peons they will go to the closest Townhall. i.e. you have to do this after they're halfway to the Townhall you want them at and, although, yes, it is morre mine-effective, you'd better spend your clicks on something else since you have a reaver in your base.

Yeah you gotta wait till they're nearer to the CC corresponding to the destination minerals before you use it.

Another use for it is to scout your opponent after your original scout dies, while you have vision of his minerals with your first scout simply select a worker in your main that is carrying minerals and quickly tell it to mine one of the patches in his main, then hit 'Stop' and wait, when you want your free scout of his base simply hit 'C' and said peon will return the minerals it's carrying to your CC and will maynard it's way to your opponent's base running right through whatever he may have blocking his ramp.

This is very interesting. I usually do this by sending scvs to his mineral, and closing my wall, then opening it when I need to send them. I will have to try it your way. Thanks for the tip.

I completely forgot that would work as well :S

I have a feeling someone on iCCup might mistake it for the gas trick though, and report you. Of course you could try to explain, but it's kind of a hassle, and there's no guarantee the iCCup staff would believe you.


Cargo glitch?

Nope it's clearly neither of these, it doesn't go anywhere near a vespene geyser and when it maynards up their ramp it's not carrying any minerals.

So how is this different then just ordering the worker to mine at their mineral patch? This method seems more complicated?

Because you can choose when you want it to go.

extremely useful trick that i recently (like in the past week) discovered. was gonna post it, but you beat me to it! this seems mostly only good with terran as drones and probes are usually too weak to make it up the ramp against any defending units, and especially against 2 hatch zerg when they won't have speedlings or sunken yet to kill your scv.
