Changelog

Version: 0.5.1
Date: 31. 10. 2026
  Bugfixes:
    - Squad with one spidertron now properly "applies options".

Version: 0.5.0
Date: 31. 10. 2026
  Major Features:
    - Added "Control Group" button: allows remote control of a single spidertron in a group, while the rest of the group automatically follows the leader.
  Features:
    - Added a default movement mode option in player settings: "Straight line" or "Pathfinding". Alternative method still available via Shift+Click.
  Changes:
    - Reworked UI: all spidertron groups are now accessible. Each planet has its own dedicated tab, which automatically switches when the player changes planets.
    - Reworked data saving logic. Note: Existing spidertrons will require their home location to be set again after updating.
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed "Follow me" behavior to work as intended: spidertrons now navigate to the exact location where they were called. If the player moves sufficiently far away, spidertrons will recalculate their path to the player's new position, repeating this until they are close enough to resume standard following behavior.
