can't blueprint spidertrons or equipment grids and more.
It would be great to blueprint spidertrons, tanks, vehicles etc, their equipment grids, weapons, etc.
You can't even copy/paste the color of vehicles like spidertron, so you have to manually set each RGB value for every vehicle if you want a different color.

Thanks for the report. However, yes you can. Using any standard blueprint will include them. The copy-paste tool won't by default but if you hold shift while selecting it will.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Okay, that's awesome then and good enough. Thanks for the reply.
Does holding shift with copy make a blueprint?
It is still confusing though as copy/paste/blueprints are presented to the user as having a lot of common functionality so you would expect you could copy a spidertron the same as a building, inserter, chest with all it's settings. However knowing that this works with blueprints is good enough, just something to keep in mind for a really good enhancement to make to the game when you have time.
Noticed another strange issue that when you use a spidertron remote, holding shift and selecting more of them doesn't actually update the remote as the tooltip says. To reproduce create a remote, select one spidertron. Put remote in toolbar (was off planet if that matters). Then grab remote from toolbar and hold shift to select more spidertrons. Then press Q or click a different spot in quickbar and neither works to update the remote. When picking the remote, it will still only select one spidertron. To get around this, I had to remove the remote from the toolbar and make a new one.
Can you have multiple remotes to different spidertrons on different planets? I assume so, just haven't had a chance to try with this weird quirk.
