Supply crawlers have two purposes: 1) Convoy resources from resource squares to a base (or, less used, base to base). Just move the SC to a square and press 'O'. 2) Store up production and use it to hurry certain items at full mineral cost (other units only yield half minerals). You can hurry SPs and prototypes with SCs. Basically a way to transfer mineral production from one base to another. Hope this helps. Have fun. SMAX |

Yes, but how do you get them to store up minerals to use on Secret Projects??? |

Build them at one base and disband them at another base with the SP being built. SMAX |
