Re: Workers - attack ground!

I experienced yesterday that my whole mineral crew of 11 SCV's went after one stray Hydralisk attacking my Missile Turrets, without me ordering them to. They just stopped mining mineral and started mining Zerg instead. I did not and still don't understand how the f* that happened.

 

@Sir Baron
neither do i lol

@red_dragoon
they do attack ground....and they only run away when standing still....and they have horrible pathfinding

 

I remembered reading a statement somewhere
The worker units in starcraft are so committed to their job that when an enemy attacks them while they are mining, the workers will ignore the attacks and continue to gather resources until they die

So Blizzard wanted them to function that way
p.s. I'm moving this to units and structures

 

Yeah, you don't see on any other blizzard games, the workers retaliate when attacked... XD

 

I would rather my units keep gathering resources because if they didn't someone could just come into your base periodically and disrupt your gathering. This would cause a serious loss in resources if it added up enough.
