but very APM intensive. Is it possible to shift+queue the entire sequence of orders? Because its not really effective to babysit individual probes to get them to mine faster... | ||

edit: If this get patched, developers are dumb as hell. This little thing is pure gold for game like starcarft, where 1 second counts, where 2 units more means a lot, etc... | ||

The SCV would use 144 seconds without using the trick. That's 49.1 minerals per minute using the trick, vs 39.6 minerals per minute not using the trick. That's a 24% bonus income per SCV. Holy shit, this will become standard. It's probably completely viable to do this the first few minutes on a few SCV's. Whoa.. that's a pretty big difference. Is it possible to shift queue multiple trips per scv? | ||

It is only possible to queue alot trips, when the worker is returning mineral, which means the worker is able to use "return cargo" command. right click near base, shift click base, shift click near mineral, shift click mineral, and so on. Reason: only when the worker is carrying mineral, right click targeting the base will be intepreted as returning the resource; otherwise it's just move. You never want to watch your worker carrying mineral and move to base then leave the base :D:D:D:D | ||

Though to be thorough, could somebody try it with mules? because THAT could potentially maybe be overpowered like mules were on gold minerals before that one patch. | ||

This seems extremly APM intensive, but maybe we'll see that trick used in the first minute of the game. Nice find | ||

Doing it both ways seems like it could be quite significant if it works. | ||

It seems a lot more APM intensive as well, so it shouldn't break the game for casuals so to speak - only give pros something to spend their APM on in the early game. Cool find OP! | ||
