yes why make a new unit when you can add a new feature to the tech tree to give the spiders and repair vecs a auto repair AI.  Repair vecs and buildings  so you could take some in the battle feild. and not have to set them to do what ever.

you could have these units (spiders or repair bots) have a command like the bulldozer where you select a region of land for it to work on. it would then patrol this area and auto repair anything in the area that needed repairing, buildings or units.

your toks would keep it busy, lol

If you tell it to stop, will it no longer auto-repair?  Sometimes I leave buildings damaged in order to build some more defensive units

Maybe have a timer on it, it does not auto-repair for 10secs or so after it has finished an issued order (ALA citizens in RoN)

Spiders already auto-capture an EMPd enemy unit, so this is just an extension of that.
