The best way to make a Fastest Possible Map ever is to start by downloading the proper map editor.
Starforge and SCMDraft are excellent editors to make any kind of map, they can be found in the Downloads Database.

All you need to do is place a start location and put the minerals right beside it, then right click into it's properties and stack 50 of them in that very spot. Put 6 or 8 geysers a few squares beside the start location, and you're done.

Make sure that the minerals have minerals in them, or else they will have 0, and the workers will simply make them disappear.

The reason you haven't found tutorials on this is because SEN doesn't support fastest maps.

i would recommend the SCMdraft program which can be found here:

http://www.staredit.net/index.php?download=4207

thats why i use to make stacked fast maps and i love it. you will have to change some options to allow minerals to be next to the base and stuff, but its easy.

make sure you compress and protect your map after your done with uberation, which can be found here:

and as always if you need any help, feel free to post and ask anyone here (after checking the stickies and searching first tongue.gif )

I recommend beginning map-making with the original StarEdit located in the opening wizard. Once you learn how to use it read up about the other editors. Begin map-making by opening up the original or downloaded melee maps. Once you learn how to make melee maps you realize how easy it is compared to UMS. biggrin.gif Try reading up on Blizzard's official StarEdit guide for Triggers/Actions before attempting UMS maps.

Someone should make a NEW TO MAP MAKING tutorial. Do you know what locations or triggers are?
