Make a spidertron a sentinel that automatically searchs and attacks any enemy in a circular zone around him.
Just select a spidertron and click the start button on the sentinel panel.
The mod adds a new version of spidertron, Tiny spider.
It makes the spider sentinel functions available after the blue science.
Mining a spidertron creates a tagged item containing all the inventory of the inventory and also its logistics requests. This can be disabled by a setting.
A tool in the toolbar can select some spidertron to create a squad. A spidertron of the squad is selected to be the leader. All others spidertrons of the squad will follow it. By default, the leader is the spidertron the nearest spidertron from the player (or the spider which the player is driving).
Press shift and select the spidertron of a squad to disband the squad.
Mining a member of a squad mines also all the members of the squad in a tagged item. Putting the item on the map will return all the members of the squad.
A new chest called a "Duplicator" is dedicated to the creation of new squad from an existing one. Put a squad item in a duplicator. The logistics slots are filled with the items necessary to create a new squad. When all items are present in the chest, a new squad item is created (and the previous items are removed). There must be enough space in the chest to add the squad item.
