hide them behind mineral lines of their next base so they don't shoot at the building if it's being built by a scv but when the workers all transfer over


Yes that would be the best spot to burry them, because its not cost effective to kill only one worker who is there building

Against Terran you only get to kill 1 worker. Splash isn't enough for multiple kills with just 1 mine.

Use them defensivly and to harass once it's past early-mid game...late game they kinda suck unless zerg is going mass ling baneling
I like to go up to 3 factories on 3 base, 1 reactor, 2 tech labs (get mine upgrade for cool down)
Pump thors off 2 facts with your main marine/marauder/medi/mines army....tanks if they go roaches hydras (mine/thor vs anything else or mine/tanks vs roaches/hydras)

I don't use them tvt tho...and dont use them tvp either past early game

That's just what it works for me tho...might not work for you

Yeah IMO they aren't great past the early game in TvP. Just good for drops + holding off the first stalker if they go for an early gateway poke.

Mines are good later on too. At least until they get Tempest.
