i think it will probably be fixed by blizzard. Because if you did this for mules it will be broken. I.e. even late game if you did it with all your mules and got an extra trip out of them because of it, it would be a significant advantage to terran that other races wouldnt have.

I hope this gets updated. Great find, but having mind numbing boring chores to do doesn't quite get me off. I actually liked that it's the biggest thing that got cut between BW and SC2. Also making cheeses more successful = , esp. as this might not only make them more successful but hit earlier

Awesome find, awesome instructional video. I absolutely HATE this idea, but I guess I'll get used to it.

I tested with 2 scvs, 1 not and 1 doing the trick. The 1 doing the trick started behind the other SCV, but quickly overcame it.

This gives you as much of an advantage in muling as sending it to a close patch rather than a far patch.

Given that you have to spend 20 actions (shiftclick, hit c) for essentially half a marine's worth of minerals, I doubt pros will devote time to this in the lategame over microing their units.

It feels pretty retarded. Not sure how to elaborate that, but it's essentially "right click and spam C fast to get extra minerals". But meh, doesn't make too much of a difference.

that not every1 is spamming at the start of the game? that it will make rushs arrive earlier and thus be more dangerous? as if the game wasnt full enough of 1 base all ins.

I just tested, and in its current form, this technique definitely does not work with gas.

Despite how awesome I feel like this technique is (I mean c'mon, who is it going to hurt? No one. Who is it going to help? Only the BEST of the BEST of the BEST players, who need something useful to do at the beginning of the game anyway!) I have to concede that this is clearly a bug. Workers should be doing these actions as efficiently as possible anyway, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if Blizzard fixed this

I really hope things like this aren't what differentiates the good from the great. This sort of trick is completely mindless.

If it has to have the OP's name attached to it (which I don't think he really cares about), I think "Folding" sounds better even if it doesn't fit the actual mechanic as well as Fazing did (we can't all be so lucky).

I propose just "folding" so it doesn't sound quite so weird.
Really interesting find sockfolder.

So let me get this straight... SC2 is "too easy", yet we find something like this and everyone complains that it should be removed? Nice.

You can actually just keep C pressed. No need to spam, and you can do that even later in the game.

Except it does not work, as just spamming C command will make them stay at the command center and you gonna lose mining time anyway.

I missed not having these little tricks in SC2, so I obviously like it and I'm going to execute it, even tho it's pretty insignificant since it only affects the early game by 1 or 2 seconds (3 if you are VERY good at it, what is still meaningless).

no, i've tested it and just holding down C (and nothing else) does absolutely nothing. 100% sure here

(im assuming this is because the way it works is that by the time Return Cargo becomes 'available,' it's already too late/slow. you need to send it the command before it has minerals in its hands)

I can guarantee you that Blizz knew about this ten minutes after the thread went up, and it will most likely be patched.

Their devs probably read TL more than their actual forums.

It won't work that way.
