It's kind of like gold expansions: They actually have a much lower resource count than a normal base but the extremely high income rate makes it worthwhile. The difference is negligible... isn't that an obvious fact already? | ||

SOME far patches return 8 loads and mine 9 - for 240 minerals, wasted 30. inbetween patches sometimes mine 10 but usually only mine 9. | ||

According to his test (assuming it is true) they both return 270 minerals; since MULEs have a timed life i guess there is little to no advantage in terms of timing; the timing advantage would be the time of a trip to and halfway back to the CC-is it worth losing 30minerals; you essentially are losing 30 minerals by dropping it on a close patch. | ||

Yeah, pretty much this. A far patch will have 270 mins mined, period. A close patch will have 300 mins mined, but will only return 270 because the last 30 mins are just lost; therefore, one "loses" 30 mins for every MULE called down on a close position patch! | ||

There is an advantage to randomly making things at weird timings, it throws your opponent off somewhat. Even if you make everything only 1 worker later it changes the timings by several seconds. Sen did it all the time in BW. He and his 12/13/14 pool in zvt raping Idra. | ||
