Hello!
Thanks for the mod!
Downloaded the version for 2.0 from GitHub, super!
I have a question - as I understand it, if the spidertron is near the dock, it does not dock automatically, this must be done manually, but is it possible to do this either automatically or with a button, like the "undock" button is made, if the spidertron is docked and click on the dock, like if there is a spidertron within a radius of 5-6 cells, then it docks either automatically or with a button on the dock. ?

Hello!

Oh, haha didn't expect that someone would download it from GitHub. Luckily that code is basically done, just wanted to do a few little tests still before release. You haven't run into any issues yet?

I don't think that's possible currently. Using the Dock Interface you can give it the R signal which would recall the last spider that docked to it.

I don't fully understand your use-case though. What's the difference between clicking on a button in the GUI to dock, and using a remote? Or don't you carry a remote around for this spider, so it's an annoying limitation?

I haven't used it much yet, but I haven't had any problems while using it :)

I haven't figured out the signals yet either, I tried to send them but nothing happened, or I did something wrong. Does the "R" signal allow you to return the spidertron that was last docked to it to the dock?

Yes, I don't have a remote control, and I have to go into the interface of another mod every time, and the remote control is hidden there (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/vehicle-control-center), or I'm doing something wrong again :)
I would like to have the simplest option for how to dock the spidertron, and at the same time make a minimum of movements, but the ideal option is automation.
What is the difference between a button and a remote control? To perform the entire sequence with docking, at the moment I need to perform 5 actions, on different sides of the screen, and since a person is a lazy creature, I would like to do a minimum of actions, the button will allow you to perform 3 actions, and all of them will be practically at one point, that is, no unnecessary movements.

In general, it's not that this somehow limits, but it is somehow tedious to periodically perform all these actions. Oh, I would even call it "complexity" in actions.

Yeah, it wil call back the last docked spider. So if you haven't docked before it won't work. And it needs to go through the interface, like this:

Yes, I don't have a remote control, and I have to go into the interface of another mod every time, and the remote control is hidden

Ah I see, that's a valid use case. Maybe I can do something like:
1. Button in dock GUI to "Dock closest spider"
2. Button in spidertron to "Dock to closest dock".

I like option 1 more. But at the moment this is quite low on my priority list though, so don't know when I might get to it.
