Yes but I mean for the other races too, not just Zerg.
I think iopq said a few posts back there were no difference between races.
well this just cant possibly be true when workers clearly accelerate differently and therefore give different mining rates.

also i found this new boost on the left side, but it is a hard 2-step manual boost that have pretty strict timings. i showed soma, but he doesn't seem to incorporate it, so maybe it is too impractical https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Fyu650XsPrY
it's the same as the #3 on modern maps he's doing return cargo before the drone gets to the mineral
if you want it to automatically boost you need to set up the perfect angle on the mineral,. I set it up by clicking on the mineral when the drone is coming to mine it
you get 149 frames automatically if you time it right, you can tell because the mineral turns around faster in the drone's hand
you can see Soma do it in his videos to make sure it's mining at that 149 rate, not 158

except workers have a different speed when mining compared to moving normally

This video is utterly meaningless to the discussion of what the frame data/mining rates are because, WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT AN SCV MINING RATE WHEN RETURNING TO A NEXUS.
You literally proved my point: workers have different mining rates because inherently, you have different town halls for each race. You can't possibly think this video proved a point.
If you want to argue the semantics: yes ok, my statement that "workers move at different speeds" is TECHNICALLY incorrect, but the discussion is on worker movement while mining, and their respective town halls are relevant, so we can easily just amend the statement to: "workers move at different speeds when mining to their respective town halls" even though the last third of that sentence isn't even relevant because when is an SCV mining to a nexus?

It wasn't clear from your post, since you mentioned acceleration and some people believe workers accelerate differently (they actually don't). Even after re-reading it I didn't know exactly what you meant, so I wanted to clarify what the actual difference between the races is
The other poster made the assumption that since workers are the same then the mining rates are the same which is not true because the drop offs are different
Oh, I'm only half right. I meant the scv and probe and drone is the same. I didn't know about the dropoff checkpoints. Good thing it is cleared, thanks to iopq.

is this #5 left side boost still 63.8 with the auto-boost?

Yeah, because there's a cycle, it goes fast only from time to time and this is an average
If there's a way to make it mine even faster, I'm all ears
Saw Soma doing this new #6 boost about a week ago, though IDK when he first started doing it since he's privating his VODs for ASL. seems to be 142~144 frames, but i couldn't get an average of a full cycle since the most I could do is 3 consecutive reps. it also works on the right side, just mirrored
There's an issue with video, in that my graphics card generates 240 frames a second, but starcraft generates a frame every 42 ms so there's times where it doesn't match up. So with 15000 gas it means that for 100 trips it took exactly 150 frames a trip and I need to update literally every table
