Auto repeat in factories on by default

I think it would help to have it where factory automatically repeating the build queue. This would help with ensuring newer players will consistently build an army while requiring less actions per minute while they learn. Perhaps also a tutorial popup pointing out the alt click for single time building and spacebar click for emergency build. I don't tend to play all that often so maybe this is not relevant anymore for current new players but this would have been nice to have from the start while I was getting a hang of playing and trying not to excess while expanding.

It is something I would like to test, but without testing I suspect the cost would outweight the benefit. The cost is that having your base make more than you told it to is potentially confusing and frustrating. It is hard to only make one unit when your factory is on repeat and you don't know how to turn it off. Sure, we might "force" them into good play on average, but you don't do that by seemingly taking away the tools to do what they actually wanted to do.

Tutorial popups are good but tricky. Perhaps we could extend the construction tooltip to show the modifiers, with an option to show the original. But then we would have most players use the huge version because they don't know how to turn it off.
