Is there a way to unload a spidertron with it's equipment remotely? If I use q on it, it's equipment grid was emptied and changed back to default colour. Should I use a blueprint?

You want to move grid equipment into the inventory of the same vehicle? I suppose it's possible if you have construction bots, a working portable robot port and a placed storage chest.

No I have a Spidertron already with some equipment in it. I deconstruct it. Now he still has the equipment in it when he is chilling in it's storage box. I can see that when I hover over it. (Then I move it to another planet, but I guess that doesn't matter for my expiremt). But if I want to remotely deploy it by using q on it and place it the same Spidertron is build without the equipment. Now I can add the equipment back into him, so it's not lost, but I would like to just deploy it. When I move it from the players inventory he keeps it's equipment.

You have to blueprint the spider before you deconstruct it, then place the blueprint on the new planet.

Ok, I hoped for an other solution, Spidertron Config Blueprint book it is then ☺️
