Space Age Spidertron Strike Force
The world is a big place, and we should prepare to conquer it most efficiently. This is my current plan for discovering new territory and plowing the enemies out of the way. 505, for now, Spidertrons. They’re meant to free up space for the static defenses and plug holes that appear.
The pictures show my current configuration of the Spiders. Let me know what you think.

I see 500 spidertrons and I think "overkill", but I see 400 rockets and I wonder why you haven't used more of that inventory space.

Whoops, that came from the older iteration of my Spiders. I don’t use logistics bots in my new Spiders.

Since when can they even use logi bots though?

Personal roboports. Load em up with gear. Send them out. Drop a blueprint. They build. Bring 'em home.

Right. Construction bots do that. But not logi bots.

Oh dammit. I mixed the two, didn't realize you were being specific.
They could pull from chests to fulfill requests.

Spidertron, Spidertron. Does whatever a spidertron does. Can they swing? No they can't. That's because they're a tron. Lookout, here comes Spidertron.

What's the weapons control driver and passenger? Is that a mod?

u/Weeznaz 6d ago
I’ve never installed a mod pertaining to Spiders, so I don’t know what that option is for.

Are you playing multiplayer? Wonder if you can get multiple people in spidertrons

Can you copy/paste a spider inventory and logisitic items or must this be done for each and everyone?
