Even if you don't split at all it's still slightly faster than manually clicking sending and then producing a worker simply because it's less actions. If you focus your camera and create a worker as fast as possible it's slightly faster on income and worker creation. If you create your worker while workers are en route then split the 2/3 right before they all clump it's half the clicks of splitting 2/3 groups and you still have a fast worker. This is the optimal way if you're realllllly fast about it. You can do it in reverse but then your worker is a little slower. Really it's not that big of a difference but from my tests even if you don't split you should still have it turned on. It's just to what extent of optimization are you goin for. | ||

It just sends the workers to mine the center patch at 0:00 and sets the rally to the same patch. It won't split them optimally or anything, but leaving it on does keep the second or so of lag as the game starts from affecting your mining time. | ||

Okay normally I select my hatchery and build a drone and then I select all of my workers and make them gather a center patch. But now I just have to select my hatchery to build a drone and don't worry about the rest if this option is on? Okay thanks I get it now But then it seems slightly beneficial for me to always turn it on then as I can use true multitasking instead of choosing whether to first assign the workers to mine minerals and then build a worker or do it the other way around. | ||
