The only applicable situation i've been in is for thors, but its pretty much necessary. | ||

You're not going to need it on all the time, because it's rarely relevant, since mining workers don't autocast it. The time when it's going to be most useful is if you're bringing SCVs to repair for a mech push, and even then, you'd generally want to focus-repair those units that are taking damage, or that are more important (e.g. you don't want SCVs repairing random Hellions while your Thors are dying). | ||

However in single player - sure you can repair everything. You have money coming out of your ears and aren't really trying to be as economical as multi. | ||

what's wrong with turning it on when you need it? personally i find that if you a-move your scv's and then select about half of them to auto repair they put up a very good fight against lings (repairing eachother while some attack). | ||

The problem and the benefit is that with Auto-Repair on and a large grouping of mech, the SCV's will automatically begin repairing the hurt units inside the group without having to identify and assign them. The problem is that you can't control which unit they repair, and I swear sometimes SCV's will choose to repair each other than the Thor you want them to repair. Also, it's a mechanic that almost needlessly removes a potential source of differentiation between low and pro players. It has pros and cons. | ||

I asked because I personally liked how it worked during the campaign. Guess I'll have to adjust. But still, it's weird that they didn't make it the same in both environments, for consistency sake. | ||
