#2 is 169 frames (67.62) so it's actually only one frame away from #1 | ||

#6 is 163 frames (70.11) from the top this is correct on the chart, mining from the middle of the mineral gives us 168 which is worse #7 is 177-ish frames (64.57) but varies by a frame sometimes (?) #9 is 160 frames (71.43) from the top right corner so it should be prioritized #8 is weird because it's not exactly stable, varies and averages like 65 minerals per minute | ||

if you want to boost, then fill out the first four >70 min/minute patches and boost patch #8 with the 5th drone make sure to mine from the top right parts of the minerals for patches like #9 and #7 where they mine much slower when not lined up - I think this is why the previous chart is wrong ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/rvm28yZ.png) also you can put a pool on the top to boost | ||

![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/tfXZ3dH.png) you can boost #1, #7, and #9 #1 you should return cargo as the drone gets the mineral #7 you should make the drone go to the left more before dropping off the minerals to boost, but this will be blocked by other drones and eggs so just do it the first few times if you have the chance #9 you should boost by lining up the drone on the edge of the mineral every time around so start doing this before you put the drone on the slowest patches since you can do both #1 and #9 boost at the same time so since #1 is the easiest boost (and yields the most minerals consistently) you should go 1358 for your split and begin boosting, then 10 and line it up not on the farthest left edge, but one position to the right so it forms a stable path while still mining up and down | ||

the top #1 does 158 frames sometimes and sometimes 150 using 154 as the average gives 74.21 which is close to the long term mining average, it's a good patch to mine if you line the drone up anyway, so it's not an issue since you'll want to mine it right away #2 is doing 185(61.78) frames sometimes and 180(63.49) frames sometimes, but if you average those you get 62.6 which is my long term mining rate I made the same mistake with right side #6, it fluctuates between 189 (60.49) and 180 (63.49) and long term mines around 62.7 which is right between those values left side #7 should be lined up on the top right corner of the mineral and sometimes it does a boost mining 68 minerals per minute, but goes back to 64 and then boosts again so the average is above 65 | ||

![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/XgR4GNt.png) the white circles are where you would line up the drone, numbers with no manual boost | ||

Left side minerals total 671 Right side minerals total 691 Top side minerals total 691 the left side also has a harder boost so it's the worst location (for Zerg at least) for standard maps it's left side 610 right side 619 top side 615 you can fix the tenth patch to make it easier to mine and that would make at least 10 patch bases more equal I'm working on a harder to boost (or not worth boosting) version of minerals like so ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/DT8xhTv.png) you still need to line the drones up to mine optimally, but you do it once, set and forget | ||

I can get a nice auto-boost with the drone 3:20 240 minerals 6:11 456 minerals I'm getting almost 76 without touching the game after I set up the auto-boost, but not sure if that counts as "auto mining" since you have to manually drag the drone to the side but it still mines faster than that chart without the boost, ~70 min/minute | ||

but ofc being able to manually return cargo some patches could completely change the order of which patches to mine, most obvious one is #1 on right side, that 1 is pretty mandatory for all races there's a bunch more race dependent manual boosts (these ones u have to study and practice the timing) but u have to be precise, if you're not it could end up slowing ur mining, some ppl can consistently hit 3 patch boosting but imo u shouldn't really ocd over these type of things (if it's at the expense of more important stuff) until u reach a really high level, there's way bigger bang for you buck fundamentals that players can/should focus on, ocd'ing over details like this can be a trap if u lose sight of the big picture (but it's good if understand that it's just 1 part of the big picture) just placing workers at the correct angle and manually return cargo'ing #1 on the right side is good enough until you're a ASL lvl player, if u watch many pros when they stream/ladder they slack with boosting and still take games off other pros | ||
