Has anyone tried this? I did it earlier on and I must say, it's very cool. It's a glitch in starcraft and apparently, blizzard is gonna release a 1.10 to fix it. Here is how it works.
Get 2 drones. Put one of the drones right next to a geyser (an empty one without an extractor). Put the other drone about 10 seconds away from the geyser. Highlight the drone that is FAR away from it and tell them to build an extractor, then waypoint him to another part of the map (shift + right click). What this tells him to do is build the extractor, then go to the other part of the map after he is done. Now, just as the drone gets ready to build the extractor, use the first drone (the one that was originally close to the geyser) to build an extractor just 1-2 seconds beforet he far drone would... the goal is to get both drones on the geyser, but have the close one build an exctrator. If you do this successfully, the far away drone will begin floating and he will move to the part of the map you selected (you wont beable to control him until he reaches his destination).
This might sound hard, but it's very easy to do once you get the hang of it. The point of doing this? Well, on maps with islands, you can have a drone float to a place right away where he normally wouldnt beable to get without overlords transport.
Let me know if anyone tries this and it works for you
