People are fast enough to clone the 4 initial workers onto the minerals O_o!?

Do people clone mass drops?

How do you clone mass drops? To spread dropships out around the map? Cloning dropships makes no sense.

Of course people are fast enough to clone 4 workers at the start. I mean, even I can lol.

Basically, before every move or whatever command you want, you hold shift and click on one of the wireframe things at the bottom center of your screen, then you let go off shift, do your move command or whatever, then hold shift and press another wireframe. Each time 1 unit wil be excluded from the new command, so that they all recieve different commands at the end.

So, basically "cloning" means to select a bunch of units, order them to perform an specific task, remove any amount of units from the group, order them another task, and so on, until u have no more units to order. ¿Is that so?

who clones their 4 worker units manually, or just clones them?

i.e shift+click them to minerals, or hastily get all 4 onto a different mineral patch

I clone to split on minerals, but I can also do it with sending all 4 to one patch and individually grabbing all of them and sending each to a different mineral before they reach the first one I sent them to. I find cloning easier personally.

Yup. Sometimes you might want to remove 2 miners from your group when you're cloning 12 miners to an expansion, and sometimes only 1. I use 8 miners always anyway so its like 1 removal each time.
