Gather resources with nydus is a really really good idea. It makes the races work in different fashion. It makes the zerg zegy. It brings more options and depth to a unit that otherwise woudn't have it. It makes that unit something more than it currently is. This possibility make it fun.
In the former way it's somewhat easy to use this mechanic. Come on, it isn't hard at all to remeber to press three or four buttons every once in a while. There are even visual clues in the screen to help. Ppl did way more in BW. But it isn't really worth it as it is. Maybe we can figure out a way to make it so, but maybe, just maybe, blizzard would be interested in changing the way it works (nydus mechanic), just twist it a little, in order to make nydus mining a realiable option, that will require a certain skill level and will not be superior to normal mining, but will add options, will ad depth to the game. And it shouldn't be that hard, something like this should do it:
Changes that would make it worth it.
-Make the workers able to mine automaticaly through nydus. Just enable the workers to perform their tasks with rally point, in and out automatically. Shift click wich way you want it to go in, click the worm you want it to go out, mineralz, back, hatch worm, hatch. Repeat. Maybe enable it with the mineral rally point, or whatever.
Just please find a way to put it in the game, it's awesome. But if begging for mercy isn't going to help maybe it's up to the players to find a use to it. If just there where a way to make this mechanic more profitable, and that doesn't affect too much the way nydus works right now... Halp?

Lol yea, scscientist just made vids on tips that were posted here.

would be great for molleh-multies if you put nydus on creep generator behind a mineral patch instead of in front of it

i think it would only be good if you did it at like gold minerals, but then again im sure normal minerals would be ok too.

mining at high yield without killing rocks, cool

There is no doubt you'd want to have this trick up your sleeve for one of those base trading games where both players are left with just a couple expos in weird spots and Zerg usually isn't supply locked because his supply can fly... if you think fast and slap down a Nydus... knowing how to do this trick could get you back on your feet way faster than your opponent. Especially when you set it to gold ones.
