another good fact to know might be the exact saturation ratio per MINERAL PATCH.

it really does seem like that 3rd drone on a patch is very not worth it comapred to the first two, which get full mining time.

the saturation ratio based on one mineral patch would be quite similar to multiple patches, with a one way trend.

You can't use 2.5 because you can't split SCV efficiency over two minerals. You need to use three per mineral patch.

You can rarely take a gold as first as its too far away or blocked by a rock. So whenever you take a gold or any other expansions at that time you usually have enough wrokers left over to transfer them and instantly saturate them.

Also its 3 workers per patch.


Please. It's 2 workers per patch. Don't get this wrong anymore. Please.





Ironically you're wrong. Please. Don't post if you're going to be spewing out ignorance. Please.


Your not splitting SCV efficiency over 2 separate mineral patches, your at taking into account the mineral patches a little further away which is of course map dependent.

In the case of the gold however, since there are less patches and hence less patches further away, 2 per mineral patch might be an optimal number. Anyone here done a test on income rates for gold and non gold for a specific map.

That's why people are talking about HY gas. Never have I seen or heard this, so I assume he just stated a rumor (or better term myth) as a fact.

In the current state of the game high yield gas does not and has never existed.

Basically, your life is short and sweet with the gold, and slow but steady at the blues, no?
