Title: Terran gas
Post by: Chobo on December 11, 2020, 11:51:45 am
I noticed that terran scvs do different things on different geysers and sometimes go behind the gas, after some research I have come up with the following:

top right gasses need depots 1 hex above the gas to work properly
top left gasses don't bug even without depots behind
bottom left gasses work with depots directly behind them
bottom right gasses don't bug

Hope this helps, lemme know if anyone disagrees, maybe i'll add a picture if it helps.

Note: When I say "top right" i am referring to the geyser that is closest to the top right corner of the game field, and when I say "bottom left" I am referring to the geyser that is closest to bottom left of the game field, this explains why not every base has the same feel because those gasses are not always the 'inner' geysers in every base.

when play T vs me, you should always put gas in the middle first.  It will trigger instant win.  Please don't EVER share this secret.

Good post Chobo--it's also notable that SCVS return both minerals and gas quicker from the bottom right hitbox of the CC. This means a 2nd from the bottom gas on the right-side is probably most efficient early which is especially important to get your factories down.

Oh, Thanks for this, I was not aware.
