Magical_Trever 60 Posted December 9, 2007 (edited) Yellow mineral crystals are a harvestable high yield resource, meaning each harvest rotation results in greater mineral quantities than the standard blue minerals. This gives players more strategic choices when trying to evaluate where they wish to expand. Expand to the high yield but risk easier discovery? Or expand to a safer area but earn fewer resources? Each harvast yields 12 minerals. Sorce here -------------------- everybody should know this by now, but imagine how interesting this would be in melee maps.

ViperSRT3g 224 Posted December 9, 2007 I'm pretty sure that it does NOT change colors based on the terrain color or the player's color. Why would it belong to a player for. Share this post Link to post

Magical_Trever 60 Posted December 10, 2007 on a starcraft map, nowhere is really safe. it depends on what you mean.. a space where people can get infantry to you easily? - unsafe a island where nobody can find you unless they send a scout - safe Share this post Link to post
