Some people seem to have some confusion about what gets money back and what doesn't.
Buildings:
Warping in and killed: 0 back
Warping in and cancelled: 75% back
Units:
Cancelled: 100% back
Training in a building that is killed: 100% back (including any queued units also giving 100% back)
Scarabs/Interceptors building: 0 back (Thanks for pointing this out Catyoul, and I just ran a test on Reaver and confirmed)
Upgrades:
Cancelled: 100% back
Researching in a building that is killed: 75% back
HnR)Insane:
Post: 100% correct
edit: shouldn't this be common info though

Actually, I think the researching in building 75% back is a little surprising. Additionally, if you look through the thread, there are many people who have their facts wrong :D

I always thought you got 0 back for anything going on in a building that was destroyed =D
|
Well now I feel like an idiot for the hundreds of times I've gone frantically cancelling units in buildings that were being destroyed.

=D guilty!

I knew you got all the money back for units, but I thought you got 100% for ups, too. I guess not, though. That's interesting to find out all the percentages.

Didn't know about getting all money back from units queued in a destroyed building.. pretty suprised by that. Will take your word for it but i was sure it wasn't the case..

75% back for buildings - was typoed, but sure everyone knew what I meant
100% back for cancelling an upgrade
75% back for losing a building that is upgrading - 75% back on the upgrade price I mean
yes he is right and you DO NOT lose money for cancelling eggs when you are zerg, you just lose a larva ( IMBA! ) and when you have scarabs or interceptors queed up or training and the reaver or carrier dies you get that money back too, but not if they are already built and just chillin inside to be unleashed.

No, you don't get any money back on building scarabs or interceptors.
edit : I tested cancelling lurker / guardian / devourer forms. You get 100% money back on those.

OMg i was lied to, you're absolutley right. this is so lame . Since most times on a early game reaver drop it only gets off 2-3 shots im only gonna start it with 3 scarabs and save 30 minerals!

yah
just tested
reaver carriers no money back~
lurker guardian yes~
|
I think it depends on when the building is canceled. If you cancel a Nexus right as it starts, you get 75% back... but if you cancel it towards completion it's like 33% or something low..

HnR)Insane summed it up perfectly, I tested earlier today by myself.
Actually I didn't know you got your money back on upgrades and queued units, shame on me :p

You mean, if reaver gets killed, or if you cancel it, or both?
|
Dude there is a way more recent thread explaining the same thing, post on that one.
|
how can you queue a scarab on a reaver that never built? wtf are you talking about overlord?
and avoid these old topics =/
|
For the longest time I thought I got my money back if it was destroyed before building so I would build retarded shit like supply depots in peoples mineral lines and let them destroy it thinking I was totally fucking them up when I was in reality fucking myself
