Are you sure that is worth it? If you did think that was worth it because you avoid mineral loss then wouldn't you consider supply drop better than mule anyway because it mule is only faster income, whereas supply is an actual gain of 100 minerals over the term of a base? | ||

I think it's interesting that the rate of mineral (and also gas, although this wasn't covered in the OP) mining can differ from location to location. Isn't it true that in WC3, the harvesting speed of Peons changes very slightly depending on the position of the gold mine so that Gold income is always the same (equal to wisps or acolytes) regardless of where the gold mine is placed? I think that at least vespene gas should work that way. | ||

Wow... that is absolutely shocking and requires some new research (also for more current maps). I mean are you kidding me blizzard? I don't know what to say apart from: WTF??! PS: I also think they should re-time a mule (either life span or collecting rate) by a very minor factor, so that it will never (neither on far nor close patches) gather minerals and die while holding them. | ||
