A Silver League Terran's Small Guide to Unit Composition Part 1

You see this unit?

scv scv

This is a worker unit called an SCV. They spawn in the Command Centers, and they are responsible for moving minerals/gas to your Command Center, making new buildings and repairing buildings and mech units.

When a game starts, you start out with 12 of the possible 16 mineral workers and 6 gas workers on the main base. Some basic information about the SCV:

-Spawn Time (seconds)HPArmorDamageWeapon SpeedAttributesRange
SCV1245051.07Light, Biological, MechanicalMelee
SCV 11245151.07Light, Biological, MechanicalMelee
SCV 21245251.07Light, Biological, MechanicalMelee
SCV 31245351.07Light, Biological, MechanicalMelee

It takes approximately 5 seconds to mine both minerals and gas, and return to the CC with the mined resource. Once there is a sufficient amount of resources available, the SCVs can be taken away from mining to be used to make buildings.
