The Core is a completely different keybinding system, and requires extensive effort over weeks to master.The command is fast and comfortable and does not move your hand from its resting position.Habitual use of base cameras is also useful for defense, construction, and Drone management.Provides the ability to visit Hatcheries in whatever order and combination is appropriate according to where your Queens are.For each Hatchery that has a Queen, tap the key for its camera view and click the hatchery.Continue holding shift throughout the rest of the procedure. Select the all Queens control group, which will be a shift keypress.Assign a camera view to each Hatchery (for up to 6 Hatchery locations).

Install and learn The Core, a custom keybinding system that is radically different from the default hotkeys.You can easily misclick on the minimap.You don't need to take your hand off the left side of the keyboard.You don't need too many control groups.You don't need to change your current view.Queens will inject the Hatcheries closest to themselves so don't worry about them running halfway across the map to inject.Hit V and left click on the minimap over each Hatchery you wish to inject.You should still use an extra control group for all your Hatcheries for easier production. Having each Hatchery on its own hotkey has various advantages such as being able to easily produce units at a Hatchery that's getting attacked for shorter reinforcement paths or setting separate rally points for Hatcheries.Allows you to monitor the progress of injects easily because you can go through the control groups to see how far the injection is from completion, therefore it's easier not to miss injects even when your hatcheries are not synchronized.Double-tap the hotkey for a hatchery to jump to it.It can be difficult to do when having more than 4-5 Hatcheries / Lairs / Hives.You may have to move your hand from the left side of the keyboard if you have many bases and queens.Having a separate hotkey for each Queen can be useful for base defense or laying down Creep Tumors.Hit 5 and 5 again to center the screen on your first Queen.Assign each Queen you control to a different hotkey.You can change the hotkey for cycling through your bases from Backspace to something that is easier to reach. You have to move your hand from the left side of the keyboard.You don't need more than one control group.If you have as many Queens as you do Hatcheries, using this technique can Spawn Larva at 5 Hatcheries in less than a second.Hit Backspace to center your next base on the screen.While holding down (right-side) shift alternate between:.There are several methods for injecting Larvae across all your Hatcheries, try them all and find the one which suits your personal taste, or create your own. This is usually followed by a Vespene donation as soon as e.g. For example, on team maps with close starting positions, one zerg can pursue Lair tech right after the Spawning Pool, while his team mate transfers a Queen (after casting spawn larva on her "home") over. This spell can also be used on allied Hatcheries. To maximize Larva production, it is important to quickly use the Larva spawned via Spawn Larva, so that it does not suppress the natural spawning process. Missing even a single Spawn Larva while building primarily Zerglings and Drones can result in a stiff halt in production.Ī Hatchery with fewer than 3 Larva will naturally spawn one Larva per 11 seconds. The low cost of Zerglings and Drones means Larvae are used up very quickly. When opening with Zerglings it is especially important to be using Spawn Larva at every available opportunity. As a general rule of thumb, each base the Zerg obtains can support one Hatchery with a Queen and its Spawn Larva ability. This ability increases the ability of Zerg to produce any type of unit. One Queen will recover enough energy to constantly spawn Larva at one Hatchery. At every possible chance, the Queen's energy should be used to spawn additional Larva at a particular Hatchery. Spawn Larva is the most powerful ability at the Queen's disposal.
