Mod request/idea - Water strider

[Commander_Atlas]

The idea is either an Equipment somewhat like the exosuit legs that allows the spidertron to walk across water with 2 tiers one for normal water and the other for deep water. The other being and upgraded and larger versions that have the respective ability to walk across water. The draw back being more expensive of course. Each tier could be slower than the last and much slower in the water.

So... a spidertron with floaties (pontoons, I guess), or perhaps one with really long legs?

[pleegwat]

Hydrodynamic legs for the shallows and a watertight (floating) pod for the deep?

I had a similar idea... not sure if it's possible, but basically you'd hide the bottom portion of the spider's legs as if it's wading in the water. Mostly I just want to put an end to that annoying thing where I use the remote to send it somewhere and then discover 10 minutes later that it never arrived because it's stuck at the edge of a lake.

Have you seen my spidertron pathfinder in https://mods.factorio.com/mod/SpidertronEnhancements ? It mostly solves the problem of getting stuck at lakes.
