However, the maximum amount that can be carried over is 10 minerals (assuming industry rating is 0), which means that had your base been producing 30 minerals a turn and you paid the ''full cost'' of hurrying a construction, you would have wasted 20 minerals that didn't get carried over. This is why you should do some arithmetic in your head before hurrying construction so you pay just the right amount such that none of your minerals are wasted. | ||
