nope, the pool only impacts the first patch... workers don't always return cargo in the same number of frames, for example first set of numbers show a "cycle" of mining the top left patch on left side bases (without the spawning pool boost). when a drone mines minerals then returns to the hatchery to drop off the minerals, the first complete trip takes 160 frames, then 158 frames, then 161 frames, and so on until the cycle ends at 167 frames... then repeats itself with the next trip being 160 frames again, then 158 frames again, then 161, 167, ect second set of numbers shows the "cycle" of mining left side top left patch with the spawning pool boost | ||

I think setting it up to mine 150 frames at all times is probably the best use of your time since there are other boosts | ||
