Well if a probe mines 7 times that's 56 minerals and that takes roughly 45 seconds This is the answer iam looking for. So i wonder now, the second worker and third worker. I cant do that math To clarify my question: One mineral field. You send first worker, he costs 50minerals. How long time till it paid off in mining. and second, third worker the same question. They get less and less effeciency. Thats what makes it so hard | ||

Thats what makes it so hard Yeah...it's really quite complex to work all that out but there won't be a noticeable increase in mining time until all patches have one probe mining them, so generally once your 10th probe comes out that's when it will take slightly longer to pay off. Also note that it depends on the map, which specific mineral patches you're talking about and what race the workers are since probes mine faster than SCVs due to having instant acceleration and turning. | ||

Doing Siege FE vs P and is not enough to hold at the front since siege isn't ready before i get 3 dragoons at the front and then because i keep losing money i can't follow the build and deal with follow up DTs or drops. TT | ||

make sure you wall in every game siege fe is a soft counter to 2gate goon, except on rampless maps | ||

TT I assume you're making a wall when doing this? 2 or 3 marines and a well micro'd tank behind the wall should hold off those 3 goons until you have siege mode and a second tank. | ||

Thats why i clearly said: One mineral field. Lets assume it is the "best mineral field" of them all. I dont believe any worker mines faster. | ||

Probes, SCVs, and Drones all mine differently cuz of pathing shit, collision boxes, and acceleration shenanigans...ask Freakling if you don't believe me he's crazy knowledgable at this stuff...you really could just research this yourself in like 5 minutes I haven't been on Starcraft in forever other wise I would...

SCMD2 acts up a lot whenever it starts glitching frequently I just delete it and redownload and stuff...just keep a zip file stored somewhere safe that you can pull out whenever you need to reinstall? not installing but idk what else to call it... | ||

Yes, it does mean fastest gathering of resources. Hatcheries, Lairs and Hives all spawn larva at the same rate, which I *think* is the same amount of time as a drone takes to make, 12.5 seconds.

Again it depends on what worker it is, if the mineral field is at just the right distance and you time it correctly you can get 2 SCVs mining it perfectly, i.e. there's always one mining it, when one arrives to mine the other finishes and this keeps happening. I believe the "best" mineral patch is usually too close for that though so if it's not the right distance away or you time it incorrectly it will go and start mining another field and the 3rd worker will definitely do that anyway and from there it's random because it depends on which field it goes to, how long it might have to wait at that etc. | ||
