Spending Resources

Spending Resources is one of the primary objectives in the game. If you have a bunch of unspent resources there is normally a few causes.

• You are not producing units when you have idle larva. If you are not maxed you really shouldn't have idle larva
• You are getting supply blocked too much
• You do not have enough larva, this is caused by not injecting. If you are having a hard time injecting add on extra hatches.

Spending Gas as Zerg / Terran / Protoss

If you have lots of Vespene as Zerg, switching techs is a great way to spend it. So if you have been going roach hydra, throw down a spire and add a bunch of mutas into the mix.

Protecting the Mineral Lines (Losing too many workers)

You worked so hard to produce your workers, now let’s work on protecting them! As a zerg player the best ways to defend your mineral line is with queens, spores and spines. Make sure that as you progress into the mid and late game that you have built a spore and spine at every base. Doing so will make it so you will have enough time to run your army back and protect the workers.

Built too much supply ahead of time

Overproducing overlords to early in the game cuts into your resources and larva which could be better spent on units, workers, buildings. Work on only staying about 10-15 supply over your currently supply. When you progress to the later stages of the game start shooting for 20-25 over your supply, this should allow you to produce units without getting supply blocked.
