Base Camera Hotkey - How does it work?

General Discussion

How exactly does the “Base Camera” Hotkey work? What it depends on, which base is shown first and what defines the order of rotation?

I do not have enough knowledge to answer the question, however, you may find this video as a useful explanation.

Normally people use locations to check bases, since it’s more accurate, however, Zerg players find base camera useful for injects.

Thanks. I’ve watched the video and it looks like the order is just the build order and you reenter the cycle where you left it. Then I’ve tested it myself several times and can confirm that. Strange, I remembered the order being different, when I had tested it the first time, but I must have been wrong.

The bad part is when you start losing bases and rebuilding them, camera then starts jumping. best thing you can do is setting the camera locations like Dallarian said, 3-4 locations and youn will don fine during most games,5 if you can manage it.

Ughm… I used to use 7-8.
Tbh that’s the reason why I won a few extra matches, because I could easily outmacro opponent in late game ^^

Woah,thats too much for my unskilled old man hands, 4 is enough for me and I heard Lambo ssying 4 is totally fine, you can always use the minimap.

I use them mainly for quick exp production.
First 5 bases are supervised, but later ones just for easy Nexus placement in late game.

In early game I have enough time to set all locations, making it easy.
