I am not the author of this mod, but this seems to be an artifact of 2.0 massively altering the tech tree, especially around moving spidertron from the late to post-end-game to the early-mid-game. In 2.0, to meet the intended purpose of the spiderling (being available much earlier than the spidertron), it would have to be available with only red science (including its components). So I'm working on a patch mod that updates the recipes and technologies for the spiderling and dock to be available with red science. Look for a Space Age Spidertron Patrols mod in the near future. Maybe it should be named Early Spidertron Patrols.
