Is this true? And if so, what is the list, from fastest to slowest, and how big is the difference?

Meaning you will have to trial&error on each main for each race. Most likely not that big of a difference as compared to Hunter/BGH. All this is nitpicky as in the end its up to your skill rather than if you managed to boost some more minerals. | ||

There's been some images around with efficiency %'s for each mineral patch on each spawn, but I can't seem to find them anymore. | ||

(these are all auto-mine stats, u have to mine the corners of the most forward patches tho, for example #1 on the right side is very slow here unless u manually return cargo it) the top formation is also pretty standard (sylphid, ascension is also similar), the bot formations are the ones that are different on a lot of maps | ||

there's also a way to see the FPS mining rate of each patch but i dunno how to do that, kors use it tho (credit goes to suricatta for that spreadsheet) | ||

If a monkey made a map (blizzard) then perhaps the spreadsheet would be inaccurate. | ||

That chart covers pretty much all the standard modern day min formations, ignore the bottom formation (bot right pic). There still isn't a consensus on what the best formation for that base is yet, you'll see a lot of diff min formations for it. The top left pic is the standard top formation mins (think 12oclock on sylphid, 12 on ascension, this formation is mainly used on 3p maps or 4p maps that have a 12oclock spawn, so say 12/6/3/9). The top right pic is for right side mins on pretty much all maps with standard mins (think FS/Poly/Eclipse/Sylphid etc, literally every right side base on any type of map, be it 2p/3p/4p). The bot left pic is the new standard min formation for left side bases (Vermeer, Eclipse, Sylphid etc). Learning those 3 formations should pretty much cover all modern day maps. | ||

Sylphid 12 should be exactly the same, #6 on Sylphid top formation needs to be manually boosted like the #1 patch on right side mins | ||

If you mine from the middle and hit return cargo at 3/4 of the way back to hatchery, it boosts as well it's not great, like 64 minerals per minute 0:55 82 minerals 2:55 210 minerals drone same position but it's faster than mining from the left side #6 is something like 75 so it's a way bigger increase so that might be the one to focus on though edit: #1 on the left side can be boosted with placing a pool in the right spot, I'll test it later | ||

this what I'm talking about 1:40 82 6:08 410 ~73 minerals per second gas is not affected, still about 102 gas per second per drone (the drones go off to the side for some reason from time to time??) | ||

in my tests more like 98 gas/min/drone which is slower than the bottom gas mining | ||
