A common mistake I see in new players is trying to upgrade mass extractors too early, effectively trying to skip T1, and it sounds like you might be doing that. To upgrade one mex costs the same as 20 tanks and (assuming full build speed) takes 3.5 minutes to pay for itself.

So if you upgrade a mex too early you have gifted your opponent 20 tanks and given him at least 4 minutes to use them as he sees fit. In 1v1 this will mean 20 tanks in your base and no real way to defend against them.

In 1v1, don't upgrade mexes before you have a secure grasp on a large part of the map, and make sure you claim every mass point as soon as possible.

Team games can be different depending on the map and your position in the team, but unless you're in a completely safe position you should not go straight for tech.

If you are always negative in mass, you are either claiming your mass extractors too slow (you should do that as fast as possible), or you are spending too much. Don't spend more then you have.

Can u define more?
