It’s true that 1.5 scv per patch is optimal, but the point to continuously make scv’s is that when a new expansion is finished you can transfer workers to it and have it mining at 100% capacity asap.
How much does an SCV mine per minute?
MULEs are as effective as around 3.45 SCVs on near patches and 3.94 SCVs on far patches, as SCVs average 61.22 minerals per minute on near blue mineral patches and 53.57 minerals per minute on far blue mineral patches (for two or less workers per patch).
What does SCV stand for sc2?
Space Construction Vehicle
The SCV (Space Construction Vehicle) is the Terran worker unit. It harvests resources, constructs buildings and can repair all Terran mechanical units and buildings. As a building is constructed, the SCV must remain at the site until complete.
Do MULEs repair faster?
During the game, Mules can be used to repair units in the field and can get to the units in need of repair faster than SCVs if they have to run a long distance.
Can SCV repair Protoss?
Unlike medics, which can heal allied protoss and zerg units, SCVs may only repair terran units and structures.
How big is an SCV?
It stands just over twelve feet tall and is constructed out of neosteel, with a plasteel view hatch. SCVs have been observed to be equipped with fusion cuttersplasma welders, a power drill, utility clamp, and heavy-duty thrusters.
How many workers is a mule worth?
In other words it’s correct to say that a MULE is about equal to 4 workers (I use 4.5 seeing as most patches in most maps MULEs can mine 270 minerals from in a lifetime) when both are just mining, and it’s also correct to say that an OC is about equal to having just one MULE constantly out.
Can SCVs repair each other?
SCVs can repair each other. If your SCVs are damaged, you can assign a SCV to repair the other damaged SCVs. By queuing repair orders, you can easily and quickly repair all damaged SCVs.
