    Default micro minerals

    which is better setting rally point on center min or changing it after a few workers are made

    It's better to have 2 workers/patch on the closest patches first, so yeah, change your rally to have the closest patches saturated first.

    Also, terran players, be sure to always mule on a very close patch because that way you gain an extra 30 minerals (and you won't be wasting ~20mins when your mule dies while mining).

    Basically what he said, it brings in faster resources and possibly gives you a advantage on your opponent depending on who you are fighting.

    The mule thing matters, but you only want to worry about changing rally points if you're Korean (aka born-for-starcraft)

    So I heard that mules can mine a mineral without blocking a SCV from doing so, but I wonder, can 2 mules mine the same mineral(unsure in english "mineralpatch?") at the same time?

    Yes, changing and setting your rally points for mineral line does help, if it matters even more you can make 2 workers mine the closest mineral patch as well if your timing is right.
