1. Do any harvesters (SCV, Probe, Drone) produce minerals/gas at the same rate? (Often it feels some harvesters do things at a faster rate, maybe it's my imagination)

2. Do Hatcheries, Lairs, and Hives all produce Larve at the same rate?

3. What other units provide Supply (if any)?
(Sup Dep=8, CC=10, Nex=10, Pyl=8, Over=8, Hatch=1, Lair=1, Hiv=1, HeroOver=30)

Thanks in advance.

1. Actually they produce at different rates(almost not noticeable). A few weeks ago I saw a topic in BlizzForums that a guy made some tests of which he had the 3 races mine minerals for over 2 minutes. They had the same amount of mineral/vespene deposists and same amount of workers. I remember that the results were like 8 minerals or 16 different from eah race.

2. Yes they all produce at same rate.

3. You just listed them all.

1. the research in blizzforums probably wasn't accurate, I checked myself in Arensal3 and the speed settings are the same for all workers, and I checked in ICE and the harvest is the exact same too.
the thing that caused the difference was probable workers that randomly got in each other's way and blocked for a few seconds.

I think these might be.These a ruff answers

1.
Speed gather Slow-----------------------Fast

Drone(Zerg),Scv(Terran),Probe(Protoss)

Confirmed. There is no speed difference.

I though hives produce faster then hatcheries and lairs produce larvas faster then hives. I'm pretty sure there is a difference.

BlizzForums seems to be down(the forums not the site), and I can't find the link.

Well, I think there would be. If the harvesters are slightly smaller (ie probes) then they will block eachother slightly less, resulting in slightly faster harvesting that was experienced in the test map. I swear probes mine faster overall in melee than SCVs.

but they aint smaller.
their graphic might seem smaller but the selectiob scale has the same value in all of them thus they all have exactly the same size.

ppl, serisuly, the only difference between the workers is hit points and type (mechanicle/robotic/organic), there are no speed or harvest differences.

nexus also might seem bigger than an engineering bay but you know they have the same size.
tank might look bigger than a goliath but they're the same.

Any and all of these questions can be confirmed by Aresenal III and ICE

When you evolve a hatchery to a lair and a lair to a hive, it produces a larva. So you maybe think in that way, or else there isnt a difference, i've tried

Hives produce lavas faster than a hatchery does... I have tested this in melee games many times.

Actually the Lair Produces the fastest, then the Hive then lastly the Hatchery. It's quite a jump too.

Here is the test map.
Hatchery = Minerals
Lair = Vespene
Hive = Ghosts

You can check the speed a unit moves using Arsenal III or ICE, but ICE doesn't program how fast a unit mines minerals, that's hard coded. ICE just provides the animation that a unit uses while it's mining.

Thanks a bunch for your answers.

1 and 2 SLIGHTLY unanswered, but satisfactory to me.

1. We know their movement speed, accel, and size are the same but we don't know how fast they mine. I may test that later today.

2. I already answered. Lair > Hive > Hatchery.
