For part of my map I am making it like fastest. I am placing mineral fields(50k) infront of my start pos. Creating the "fastest effect".
I am using a version of Lost Tempke-Gamei. I thought it interesting to see how gameplay would be by adding the fastest effect to the map (and some other features). Once partially done I tested the map. The problem is that only one Scv(or other) will mine on the mineral field. I dont understand why, though I do know that is how the Lt maps usually act.
So does anyone know why it's doing this, and how I can create the fastest effect on the map?

stack many and MANY minerals on it using starforge or scmdraft.
ONLY ONE SCV CAN BE MINING FROM ON MINERAL FIELD AT A TIME.

In Starforge right click the mineral field and click "Stack" when it asks "how many?" type 20 or 50 (depending how much you want, 20 lags less, but 50 you can mine more).
Not sure how to do in SCMDraft except click 20-50 times.

In simple answer to your question the reason YOURS doesn't work is there is only one mineral feild there. The Money maps where many units can mine have several minerals feilds stacked exactly ontop of eachother.

You only put one mineral field.
StarForge: Place the mineral field. Select it. Right click. Stack. Bingo.
SCMDraft: Chui, where are you...?
Beware of hitting the unit limit on the map, though.

In SCMDraft (Tested with Private Beta)
On top toolbar go to units and allow stack, set grid to extra fine and set units to snap to grid.
Then on the place you want all those stacked minerals just click there as many times as you want. Each click will place one mineral field.
