Mech Transition to Tank Drop

This build allows you to safely put pressure while in a disadvantageous position

• 8 — Supply Depot

• 8 — Refinery (Gas)

• 10 — Barracks

  • @100% Barracks: Build 2 Factories, 1 Marine

• 16 — Supply Depot

• 17-18 — 3rd Factory (Depending on resources and pressure)

  • Zealot Pressure: If facing early Zealot aggression, build 1 Bunker and produce 3 Marines before constructing your 3rd Factory.

• @100% Factory: Train 2 Vultures

  • Vultures have to be on the map and lowering unit count. If you lose a single vulture or they aren't roaming around the map, you will lose to a push.

  • As Vultures are out on the map, start walling off your choke

• @100% Vultures: Add 2 Machine Shops (Factory Add-ons), Get Second Gas and start Starport

• @100% Add-ons: Research Spider Mines and Siege Mode, Make 3 more Vultures

• Next 200 Gas start 2 tanks

• @100% Starport: add an addon

• 4:00 Minute Mark — Build an Engineering Bay for detection and anti-air

• From here on out, you expand up to 5 factories, and then get your 2nd Command Center.

TIPS:

• Gas to Addon Ratio is 1:1.
  • If you have 3 Factories with 3 addons, make sure to have 3 gas mining
• Starport to Factory Ratio is 1:2
  • If you have 6 Factories producing tanks, you want 3 Starports
