If you gain the bonus minerals from gold patches it would more than pay for itself after even just the 1st round of mules I would think. | ||

I haven't even played the game. I'm just thinking out loud here. If you say it doesn't work I suppose I can take your word for it. However, I am still curious if the mule shares the gold minerals bonus the the scv gets. | ||

The unknown factor is whether Mules mine 30 per trip from both normal and hi-yield minerals or if they mine more than 30 at a hi-yield. I think mules should be able to get gas, but that would be broken :> But 2 or 3 Mules can work 1 patch without getting in each other's way, just like SCVs. | ||

they don't stack, but they can mine the same mineral, as long as they can find a way to fit around it. | ||

Letting your energy build up to a high level probably isn't good in any circumstance - (1) you're essentially several mules down for a long period of time, leaving you open to attack, (2) if you are able to withstand this time period, you'd be better off using the mules and building more orbital commands in the first place. | ||

Or maybe you're just wording it bad. | ||
