What happens if you use a drone to build a building while he's carrying minerals? - American Football Field

Kind of a basic question, but what happens?
Do you lose it? Does it count as harvested?

In a similar fashion, what happens when a drone/scv/probe goes harvesting gas when he's holding a mineral?



Best Answer

The only time you collect the minerals is if the worker brings it back to an existing base building (Hatchery, Nexus, or Command Center). Under any other circumstances the minerals or gas are lost.
