Usually all of my scvs are in the battle at ~7 minutes anyways.

Who cares.

Lol'd.

i love you.

i always thought it was 3 per mineral field so 3x8 24

thats for a maximum saturation
its 2x8 + 2 for efficient saturation

wouldn't you want maximum saturation.

for zerg players drones=buildings so its good to have a couple extra in there

Two SCVs on one mineral patch harvest 78-90 minerals per game minute, depending on distance.
Three SCVs on one mineral patch harvest ~102 minerals per game minute. This is fully saturated and does not depend on distance.

So 1 extra worker on a patch gets you about 12-20 more minerals for game minute
Instead of using 8 additional workers to get full saturation, you're better off having an expansion and mining from multiple lines

yea i get what your saying. but you should always go for the expansions as well
