The OP is right and is beneficial in almost every way, besides maybe taking a split second longer per MULE return. Your base isn't mined out as quickly, and you get back the same minerals. | ||

As long as the worker is working does it really matter? if you're constantly training scvs you'll need those extra patches to be fully saturated with all your workers in use it's not about saturating bases, it's about how many workers you can use effectively and how can you say that having 40 workers to fully saturate your base vs. 50 is not worse? If it still doesn't make sense at this point, just think about why 3 base vs. 2 base is such an advantage. You just have more mineral patches available. | ||

But consider this: If you MULE from a close patch you do get your money coming in very slightly faster. This might be desirable in early game. The detrimental effect of losing 30 minerals forces you to expand slightly earlier. That means if you play on a map where it is easy to expand, its not really an issue. | ||

the 30 mineral lost per patch is of zero importance compared to making sure you drop a mule on different patches to have dispersed mining | ||
