The maps are a bit outdated, but assuming this principle is still the case. I did I quick MS Paint for the newest map, Alterzim Stronghold:

I know this thread is old, but I have not seen any evidence that this is no longer the case and I think the maps ought to be updated. Perhaps by someone with a bit more graphic skills than I.

I was just about to post about that, Jakatak! I really feel like keeping an eye on this as a semi competative player is helpful and an extra thing to look at. Also, a shame this had a surge of 'popularity', as in, everyone was talking about it, that died down later.

If you could add a spoiler in the op with images displaying efficient gas geysers of the maps in the current map pool that would be awesome, something i would check back each time the pool changed

Well ye, i can see how this helps a lot of people when they didnt know, but...

it took me 5 days of playing sc2 to realize that some assimilators are further away.
just like with wallins on new maps, i fail to understand how people play this game without seeing and knowing so obvious things.

like, give me a new map and i see every assimilator that doesnt mine 100% with 3 workers, and i can wallin immediatly as well.

i dont know if im weird for being able to do that, or everyone else is :O

God you sound like an annoying bitch.

To the OP: Thank you so much for the effort you put in compiling this data.

Awesome post, Great Research. I thought you could mine more gas on certain Vespine Geysers but I didn't think that it would be so efficient on this gas or inefficient on the other ! I'll keep in mind which geyser are "better" !

More importantly, when does this actually get patched? It's not fair for anyone. Does Blizzard know?

Isn't it up to the map makers though?

Wouldn't it be possible to update one of the map analyser tools to highlight positional imbalances on symmetrical maps?

Something should be done about it either way. Almost no maps have 'got it right' ... it's not like you can blame the map-makers either if this error isn't highlighted in the editor... -_-'

If anyone should be made aware it's the map makers.

I feel like the WCS system has a responsibility as well to ensure fair play for everyone regardless of spawning position ~

At the end of the day, the official LE versions have to be changed with the help of Blizzard T_T

Has been a long time, snute. Dunno if they're particularly interested in fixing it, or a lot of engine performance quirks etc

Mapmakers are well aware of this issue, but there's nothing we can do about it other than be conscientious about how geysers are placed at each base. Given how symmetry works, you'd be very limited in your map design options if you only allowed yourself to use certain geyser angles.

The real issue is the footprint of the gas buildings, the adjustment of which would constitute altering the game data, essentially creating a different version of the game (albeit in a small way). More to the point, it's not considered acceptable in making melee maps.

In other words, Blizzard needs to fix this.

You legend. Will be taking the gas away from ramp on Daedalus now!

Edit: Also can not support what Snute said enough. It is the responsibility of Blizzard to ensure these maps are adjusted to fix the issue.

I always wondered if Zergs spawning at the top of maps have disadvantages bc their drones need to go around the hatchery to get to the minerals..
