To the people saying this cannot be used in game because you cannot know how many drones workers you have without counting them all.

You can put all workers in a control group by pressing Shift + Ctrl and clicking on a worker at each expansion until all are selected. The control group will give you your current worker count.

Also this is a pretty awesome spreadsheet.

I was really hoping to see "tl;dr" in the first post, but I was disappointed, and I'm too scared to post it myself.

Interesting read, though I will need some time to digest it.

Spreadsheet and program are pretty self explanatory. The part which makes up for saturation can be useful. The rest is just for the curious.

... i dont get it. so basically you are using math to figure out how many workers you need for sustaining the amount of units you are having. therefore this shows when to get expansions. how bout teching up? and what to do when you are harassed at the mineral line? >.<"


... i dont get it. so basically in school they told me how to add 2 numbers. but in real life you have to know what the numbers mean and where to get them from and tehres always some complications. what is this "math" supposed to be useful for?

Excellent work. Did something similar 2 weeks ago and my results are quite similar.
Gonna copy/paste your work though into MS Word, it's awsomely formulate! Thumbs up!
