I got 400 minerals in 365 seconds which is 65.8 mining diagonally for #1 I got 69.5 which is basically agreeing with these numbers auto-boosting with pool placement I got 78.5 | ||

then you hit return cargo when it's like 1/3 of the way to boost, but then you need to reset it to mine to the right again I wasn't able to consistently keep boosting it, anyone have any tips? EDIT: on single player the point where you boost is when you get almost to the hatchery (it goes diagonally and when it reaches the plane of the hatchery at like 3/4 of the way there you return cargo) so online it would be like when you're 2/3 of the way to the hatchery so you first click on the other patch, the #9, then right before it starts mining it you switch back to patch #8 and do the return cargo at the correct timing result is over 70 minerals per minute even when not done perfectly (71.7 when I wasn't even able to boost, just making the path of the drone better, up from 66.7 which is generally correct) EDIT2: 66.4 mining that patch normally in my testing | ||

Just line up the drone from the right side of the mineral and it will boost ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/eEORgbd.png) I got 70.8 minerals/min just lining up the drone | ||

How about a map where none of the mining patches have a boost that's worth doing past the first time? For example, the #7 right side boost and the #9 left side boosts fail to work when other drones block the movement required for the boost. Why not remove the patches you can manually boost and add patches that are hard/not worth to boost instead? How do we feel about having to move larvae to the left side? | ||

![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/o436XWX.png) mining from the left of the patch here is significantly faster than from the right, and both form stable paths it's like 69 vs. 63, so worth doing | ||

I did a very hard to do boost to increase it to 71.88 min/minute (159 frames) but it's not even worth your time because when you mess up it slows your mining down and it might be a frame-perfect boost so it should be reserved for AIs just do the triangle style one I showed in my video clicking to the left for 161 frames for 70.99 min/minute because if you go a little too far you only lose like a frame | ||

when you hit return cargo 2/3 of the way back you get 151 frames (75.7) the 77 value might be copied over from the Protoss value, it's not accurate let me test mining from the top of the patch, it's a bit faster - 151 frames without having to boost ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/GOpdOoQ.png) | ||

I thought it didn't do anything until I was able to improve from 151 frames (75.7 min) to 149 frames (76.7) by hitting return cargo at the correct timing somewhere in the middle | ||

I tried boosting from the top right corner, but I just got 150 frames so it only matches mining from the correct place | ||

but if you manually line up to the left side of the mineral you can get 166, but you need to readjust it every time and it's not always this efficient, depends on the exact path of the drone | ||

You can get a manual 149 frames (76.7 minerals/min) by doing the same boost as the left side #8 | ||
