Shocker.   Although I agree it’s a waste of time I could care less how this function works 

Thank you very much for the explanations. I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling the game to get it back to normal haha. Now you can try modifying the layout and adjusting a few things again. Thanks for the help, and I'll come back and share the results later =D

For me it's good how it is currently. The advantage is that units will be shown as idle after repairing, instead of doing more repairing. Repairing can be a waste of time.

No, I feel like I remember this too. I think even when you were building something, workers would go repair nearby building once done too. Not so long ago then, I joined in a26.

I'm not really sure about this ... but wasn't it like this in some alpha very long time ago? Or maybe as in you repair something and if that's finished and something is nearby and can be repaired too the unit switches to this one... Or I mix it up with some other game.
