Adds 13 new unique Spidertrons! Some specialise in specific areas such as assault, where they excel at HIGH FIREPOWER, or tanking, where thy have lots of HEALTH AND RESISTANCE. The spidertrons differ from another in the WEAPONS they use, their RANGE & FIRE RATE, their TEXTURES, the NUMBER OF LEGS & MOVEMENT SPEED, INVENTORY & EQUIPMENT GRID SIZES, and much more.
Overall, this mod introduces 5 types of spidertron:
- Assault Spidertron; These spidertrons specialise in firepower, but are weak in close quarters. Designed for hit and run tactics.
- Bulwark Spidertron; These spidertrons have ultra high health & resistance, but not so much in firepower
- Scout Spidertorn; Weak as Scout Spidertrons are in combat, they fulfil their role with a high walking speed & fog of war clearing radius
- Voyage Spidertron; Built to move items, Voyage Spidertrons have massive inventories & move at reasonable speeds
- General Purpose Spidertron; General Purpose Spidertrons do everything. However, they need a lot of research into specific spidertrons to unlock
