1) Select already paired Spidertron remote control
2) Ctrl+click the player.
3) Spidertron now follows the player around.
4) Save the game, quit the game and reload the save.
5) Spidertron no longer follows the player around.
I expected the Spidertron target to be retained when saving / loading the game. Am I wrong?
BTW, the official spelling is "Spidertron" or "Spider-tron"? I see both when searching the bug reports.
[1.1.5] Spidertron remote control state not stored in save file
Re: [1.1.5] Spidertron remote control state not stored in save file
I am guessing its a MP game,
After saving, the character is disconnected and stored, the player has left the game
And then loading the character is restored, the player has joined the game
I will leave this report here, I am not sure to say, it is not a bug, it isn't technically, but also, I can understand how the behavior is unfavorable

I can't replicate this bug in single player.

Re: [1.1.5] Spidertron remote control state not stored in save file
Can you provide the save game?
Re: [1.1.5] Spidertron remote control state not stored in save file
Of course. Here is the save game in which the Spidertron follows me. When I load this back, it no longer follows me.
Also, here is an observation of interesting behavior which might be relevant to this (or not): Whenever I CTRL+click on the player with the remote (for the Spidertron to follow me), the actual orange circle (Spidertron target) always appears a few meters next to the player, in some random, seemingly non-deterministic direction (e.g. sometimes to the north-east, sometimes to the south etc) and stays there during my subsequent movement until I select another Spidertron target. I.e. the Spidertron always tries to navigate not to my location but to a location few meters away in a random direction. The direction remains constant during my movement but changes with each change of Spidertron target.
Re: [1.1.5] Spidertron remote control state not stored in save file
Looking at the save; it has 2 players in it which means it was at least at one point hosted as a multiplayer game and someone else joined.
I don't know of any nice solution to this that makes it work for games converted to single player. One thing you can do is load the game and run:
Then save/load and at that point it should work like standard single player games.

Re: [1.1.5] Spidertron remote control state not stored in save file
Yes, that works. Thank you. I didn't know the previous multiplayer status is "remembered" later in single-player game.
