How come the AI sets bases to produce SP's when the base does not have the minerals to complete the SP in a reasonable amount of time? I have seen the AI set bases that are producing 5 or 6 minerals to produce secret projects. Of course, it will take the base 60 years to complete the project. Why doesn't the AI chose bases that can produce the SP in good time.

Usually, the AI picks it's favorite two bases (meaning the two with the highest _potential_ minerals total) for the location of the "secret" project and starts jacking out at least one supply crawler at every other base.

Hey, that's what I do, too!

Really? The AI makes supply crawlers? I still have never seen the AI make a supply crawler.

I have seen the AI use supply crawlers to accelerate a secret project but on a limited scale.
