wow, thanks for the log, gonna try and reproduce,
- did you happen to disable any settings for the mod?
- are you using any other mods and if yes, can i have a list of them?
- by ghost spider are you referring to the ghost weaver?
- did you happen to load an older save and do you happen to know the build version on the old one?

EDIT:
nvm just reproduced it on vanilla with just this mod.
This is a very weird issue. Gonna ask Resarium to try and comment sections of the codes to try and figure out which part is triggering it.

That's great that you could reproduce it. Let's see what they come back with.

Ay, we also found why it happens, so the ghost weaver spidertron had it's guns removed to be a full support / builder spidertron, and it seems the controller is trying to make the auto targeting and firing to work which crashes the game since that spidertron doesn't have guns, quite a funny one.
We're now trying to fix it either by adding dummy guns with no ammo or adding some unique gun to it so it doesn't crash anymore, or we find a way to stop the remote from forcing the spidertron to fire, still in thinking and testing phase.

Great to heard you found it let me know when you done patching and testing please.

Added version 0.2.2 which should repair this issue. Tell me if anything else crashes. Added a new gun for the ghost weaver, but it's not functional yet, we'll work on it when we got some time.

Looks great thanks for the update will let you know how it goes.

Did you report this crash on the forums? It looks like a bug in the base game?

Didn't report it because i thought it was because i did not add a weapon to it. Does the devs also count those kind of issues?

I think that they'd be interested in it. Mods are not supposed to be able to cause C++ crashes, so if they don't want spidertrons to have no weapons then there should be a check to catch it and error nicely. I don't see why they shouldn't be able to have no weapons though.

https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=89004 Looks like it’s been fixed for 1.1 anyway.

Thanks for the info.

So in the end added a guns to the ghost weaver so i will lock this discussion. Note that in version 0.3.0 you can even use this new "weapon". If there any feedback or issues please open another discussion.
