Yeah, I'm trying it, but whenever a patch is stacked, I keep accidentally clicking the worker right there, making it follow them. Right now i just pair them and do the mineral trick on the other loner workers

Wouldn't stacking close patches and focusing on keeping new workers from floating to far patches be a better use of the same APM?

@lolcanoe:
At school right now so i cant watch the replay but did you do shift click on Minerals only or did you shift que the way back to the nexus aswell?
This might have been why the numbers were higher (but i dont think this would ever make a 20% difference)
Will do further testing myself after school

It's hilarious how many kids didn't read the post to understand that this is NOT the same as the trick from two years ago that involved queuing mine and return commands which had about a 7% increase in mining compared to THIS trick which is 24%. Pathetic really the number of idiots who don't spend the five seconds it would take to realize their folly without embarrassing themselves. This is such a huge find, I can't believe it's been over two years since anyone tried something like this. If this isn't patched, pros will want to be doing this every goddamn game. Hell, they'll need to.

These people just need to be warned/banned for clearly not reading the OP and being idiots.

edit: not you. lol you clearly are addressing the same person i was.

I think the 24% figure is a bit drastic, it's talking about a single worker's increased income as in increase in income per minute. You can only do this with one worker, unlike the old method, which you could temporarily automate and do with a bunch of workers at the same time, which at best was 7%, vs this which is just 24% on a single worker for only the time you micro it, which will not be 100% of the time even in the first 2 minutes of the game.

As I stated in a previous post, I don't think that this would be better than just drone pairing, as that yets about 200 minerals increase per minute vs maynarding when you do a build like hatch first then rally to natural or FFE then rally to natural after pairing the first 16 workers.

Stop saying this is old, it is NOT sockfolding.



I agree people really should learn to read better.

Link to where it was originally posted? Obviously many people don't know about it, and I would say even many pro players don't.


I think I originally saw it here.

Which is more efficient trying to mineral stack or trying to mineral boost as many as possible. My last few games I have been trying to do both.

Mineral stacking should take priority.
<@Wikt> so you are one of those nega-fans <@Wikt> that hates the company that makes a game and everything they stand for <@Wikt> but still plays the game <@Wikt> (like roughly 30% of blizzard's player base, maybe much more...)

Could one essentially do this trick with their rally point? Rally the CC/nexus/hatch right in front of a mineral patch and then Shift click the rally onto said patch?

no you are wrong, the sock folding technique was reintroduced after the it got patched. he reintroduced it using this exact same method:

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=204762&currentpage=3#51

you just didn't know it. Also, a poster already said it earlier (jaeger) that it was already done by sockfolder, so you might wanna check at your stupidity levels first before you get the ban you were requesting first hand

Mineral stacking is easier and has less room for mistakes that ruin the whole point of doing it.

It was nerfed (see this, third post.)

If it isn't the same - could you post data please ?

It's not the ultra old trick in 1.1 (or 1.2?)
just use queued action to remove decceleration so that the worker will take less time between mineral and base

Even older. It was fixed in the middle of open season 1.

It's another thing people will do (just like worker splitting) that honestly doesn't do shit. Yet everyone will fucking marvel when someone does it awesomely. Click all your probes send them to one patch, split them, it doesn't matter. you still get 50 minerals right when the first worker is done building. So tired of seeing retarded shit like this. And as stated earlier once you get more than one worker per patch it doesn't work either. They'll be waiting for the other probe to finish in the first place.


Yeah, unless you do this trick on both the workers so they're going faster together.

Does this work for gas geysers too if you put 2 in gas or have a metalopolis geyser (takes 4 to saturate)?
