Why should Spidertron have 8 legs? You can customize the number with this mod!
- This mod adds a startup setting that changes the number of legs on the vanilla spidertron
- Spidertrons with a lot of legs can sometimes have trouble walking or walk in a very silly manner

Known Bugs
IMPORTANT: Due to a base game bug, Factorio will crash if you change this and then
load a save that already has a spidertron deployed. For more information see
these two bugs (which should be fixed in the next release):

WORKAROUND:
- Pick up all of the spidertrons
- Save your game
- Change the number of legs in mod settings (game will restart)
- Put your spidertrons back on the ground
I know this is inconvenient. Sorry.
Limitations
- This mod changes all Spidertrons. There isn't a way to customize how many legs each individual spidertron has.
- This mod might or might not interact well with other Spidertron mods, depending on what they do.
