These buildings service vehicles, getting them back into top fighting shape at the expense of some time consumed during which the vehicle is out of combat.

Repairs

These stations repair vehicles and air units. Only one unit can be serviced on the Repair Station bay at a time, and repairs require a short amount of time, more or less depending on how damaged the vehicle was. While one vehicle is being repaired, others who have gone for repairs gather in a line outside the building awaiting their turn.

You can manually direct vehicles to go for repairs by moving them onto the repair bay. When you have some vehicles selected, the cursor will change to indicate that clicking on the Repair Station will send them for repairs. You can click the Repair Station directly, but note that anything which causes the vehicle to stop on the repair bay will cause it to be repaired. Even if you direct it to move through the bay, and then hit Stop while it is still on the bay, it will be repaired while it is on the bay. So it is not strictly necessary to click on the bay itself, although this is certainly the easiest way to accomplish the task.

Also, by adjusting the Damage Tolerance settings of your vehicles, you can cause them to seek repairs automatically, with no further input needed from you.

When a unit is finished being repaired, it will move to the Repair Station’s exit point. Units will not return to their previous locations, even if they went for repairs automatically. Keep this in mind, because if you have vehicles with their Damage Tolerance settings assigned to allow them to seek repairs, your forces out on the field will gradually atrophy as units leave their posts to be repaired, and they will pile up at the rally location instead of where they were previously assigned. As such, be sure to set the rally point of your Repair Stations as necessary to control where your vehicles gather, and check the rally point frequently to move any units there back to where they are needed.
