I love it. Way to annoying trying to manage remotes for lots of spiders. I don't really need extended equipment grid for my attack trons, just a big squad is enough to just walk through max evolution deathworld nests. As long as some spiders have a roboport they can repair those that don't have one also.

Now I just need some mods for automating construction and equipment grid loading of them, and some way to also let them request things from logistics network when spawned or otherwise.

Thanks, that's one important piece.
Hoping for full blueprint support soon.
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Unit_Control is a mod similar to this. But that one also has patrols I think. Wonder if it works with spidertron?
And I'm hoping Robot Army adds the search and destroy AI to spidertron as well...

i was actually inspired by unit control for this mod, I remembered seeing the selection box commands in a Friday facts and thought they would work well for spidertron. Spidertron is a vehicle though and that mod only works for units (stuff from unit-spawners). Should be able to add patrolling because you can send directions to the spider-vehicle via autopilot_destination, so the only thing required is to add the logic for storing multiple destinations to form a patrol
