Hi all, I'm pretty sure this have been awnsered before but I've searched for a good 10 minutes now and haven't found the awnser I want...

Basicaly, whats the exact mineral/gaz mining rate for one worker per second on fastest speed? Also, how many larvaes does my hatchery spawn again in seconds on fastest speed?
wat?

for some reason ive been thinking its 1 mineral per game second. So the game clock obviously determines how fast that is in real time but yea. I also could be wrong about that.

There is no single exact rate, because different mineral patches are different distances from the hatchery, and workers have to traverse that distance. Also, some of them are lazy and only gather minerals while you're watching.

My numbers are for drones:
1 per patch saturation: 0.70 minerals / game second / worker
2 per patch saturation: 0.70
3 per patch saturation: 0.55

some patches are faster, but this is the average of all 8 of some base taken without the initial split and without the final exhaustion. tests were ran over a few minutes

and for gas:
1 per extractor: 0.69 gas / game second / worker
2 per extractor: 0.69
3 per extractor: 0.63

According to David Kim you should have 24 workers on your 8 patches to achieve optimal saturation.
