Send the first one just before the extractor(or whatever) finishes, then send the next one, and then send the last one. You can make it go real smooth if you get the timing right. Now, this is an absolute waste of time if you do this later in the game, but for the first gas you might as well. Who knows.... it might make the difference.. | ||

Worker ai is smarter now, they can remember things. previously (in bw) if you hit c, they would return the minerals and then go back to mining minerals instead of gas >.< | ||

i find it more efficient when you box three works just as they return their min. At this point they are all near the base so its easy to box :0 try it out | ||

Takes about 1 second with decent "micro". This will make the 3 deselected workers stay on the gas, while the others go mining minerals. ^^ what that guy said, but personally I'd try to select less than 20 but make sure you get at least three obviously | ||

This is what i always try to do but I never see the pros do this so I'm not sure it's worth the time it takes | ||

The Korean pros with tons of spare APM will do this, but i suspect its not worthwhile for anyone else. | ||
