If you're talking about the 3rax gassless AI:
I did some experimenting with this build trying to find small variations to my taste

if you make all 3 barracks on 12 you can OC on 12 when the first barracks finishes, and you'll have the minerals for a supply depot. That adds ~ 140 minerals to the build when you can MULE asap - just about what you need for a 4th barracks.

To support 4 barracks you need ~ 400 minerals per minute, or just over 9 SCVs ~ 1 MULE and 5 SCVs

If you leave 3-4 you can pull 8-9 and reinforce off of 4 barracks. To the best of my knowledge there's no downside to the revised 4rax other than your wall-off will be ~ 10 seconds later.



Soooooooooo....... pretty much 4rax has better reinforcement potential and 3rax can pull 2 more scvs and hits with an additional marine
