I think its better then clumping everything together because as you said,recon reasons,as well as the vision it offers you,that pylon on the edge of your base could spot a dropship passing by and save you 20 probes,stuff like that. Another thing about build placement is how easily you can get to and from your choke,if your buildings are clumped in the path then you run the risk of having your probes getting caught in them (yes this does happen),also your units going in to your main should be able to freely go to the nexus without having to lose time running around buildings. There's also the splash aspect,a group of buildings will go down alot faster to spash type units,but this is all minor stuff. Its mostly a question of style,Rekrul will build his gateways in a big line,i like to build mine spaced out more,game deciding?hardly,i could rape him with my gateways built in the middle of the map. None of this,however,applies to PvZ,in this matchup you'll want to clump and make sure your cannons cover as much as possible.There's nothing worse then having 6 muta's show up and kill your templar tech because its 'spread out'. But basically these are all very small things,its a matter of style.Unless your playing professionally,just build the way you think is cool. | ||

i like keeping the tech by the building that uses it, so i know when im gettin obs that observatory or support bay is there to upgrade with. also i know to rebuild straight away in case it goes down. and of course hide tech u dont want him to see edit- referring to ur first post freesoul, do pros have time to frig about finding their tech?? they do hide when they cheese, but otherwise they only got a fraction of a second to macro/upgrade/ etc when they look back home, cuz they must micro. i think thats why reachs' pylon placement sux hard ballz. he rushes a pylon cuz he spends 99% of time microing!! | ||
