Lay off our Pittbros and learn to follow directions hillbillyOP calls for thanksgiving food VT fans apparently wash down their Thanksgiving turkey by cannibalizing their family members and drinking shitty toilet water . Pretty gross , but not all that surprising TBH . <| sep |> This is very broad question . Basically the answer is pylons gateways , assimilators , nexi , robo , twilight , forge , probes and fighting units . But the real answer here is to spend those minerals on time . That matters more than where exactly you spend them on . Take it as your new goal that you never float over 400 minerals during the first 6 minutes . When you start to see your minerals climb in the area of 100200 you should already be thinking frantically what is your next step . If they start to rise to 300 you should already have your probe moving to build stuff . You have to be constantly aware of your what your plan is , what the next step is and execute it asap . It should be that you are constantly waiting for more minerals to make the things you want . You should feel poor not rich . Every game where you manage that was a success .
