Features

Patrol Schedule

• Use the patrol remote to create a series of waypoints
• Open the inventory of a spidertron with waypoints to see the schedule editor

Spidertron Docks

• Docks connect to a spidertron standing above them and share its inventory, so that inserters can interact with the spidertron
• Circuits wires can be connected to docks to allow its contents to be read

Spiderling

• Spiderling is a slower, smaller and weaker spidertron unlocked by chemical (blue) science
• Added so that patrols and docks can be used before the spidertron is unlocked at the end of the game

Recommendations

• Spidertron Enhancements is a required dependency which, amongst other features, allows you to open a spidertron's inventory (and patrol schedule) from anywhere whilst holding a connected remote by pressing Shift + E

Known Bugs / Limitations

• Each patrol waypoint can only have one wait condition set. If you need more, you can usually just set multiple waypoints in the same position, each with a different wait condition
• For performance reasons, when items with associated data (such as modular armor) in a spidertron inventory are taken out of a connected dock's inventory, they lose all their data. This loses all the equipment in that armor's equipment grid
• Performance is good, but not insignificant:
  • Docks are limited so that only 20 are updated each tick. Adding lots of docks will simply increase the update delay for each dock instead of reducing UPS
  • Spidertrons waiting at waypoints also add to the mod update time. The "Inactivity" wait condition is particularly expensive
  • If you are running into performance problems, send me the save and I can probably make some improvements to the mod to help you
• Use /reset-sp-render-objects if render objects (numbers and lines on the ground) are behaving unexpectedly

Future Updates?

• Progress bars for wait conditions inside schedule user interface
• Shortcut that toggles spidertron "Automatic"/"Manual"

Replaces Spidertron Waypoints. Allows creating patrols for Lex's Aircraft, since those aircraft are spidertrons internally. Fully compatible with Krastorio2, Space Exploration, and Nullius.
