yeey, what order/combination/setup of minerals is the best for mining, which the worst (worker ai). which formations should you prefer, and which are to be handled with care?
i put my minerals by random feeling mostly, but i'd like to know if someone has tested formations to minimize/maximize wandering. (the latter to strengthen P and T and disfavoring zerg slightly)
Well, fastest mining certainly is with all mineral patches as close to the CC as possible. Wandering should be at the lowest level for single lines that way as well (I state this making a guess on how the Mining AI is probably designed).
sure, but if you place minerals 1 square farer away as you could (like it is normally done ->natural design), probes often go behind minerals when sliding from this patch to the next...
