[2.0.28] Duping Spidertron Equipment

[thedoh]

This very likely existed in 2.0.27.

If you ghost a spidertron with equipment in it (like this one), and have a construction bot build it, it will start off life with equipment. This spider seems to start with 3 legendary portable fission reactors, 8 legendary exoskeletons, 5 legendary toolbelt equipment, 1 (common) belt immunity equipment, 1 uncommon personal battery mk3.

Notably, the spiders do NOT have the ghosted shields, personal roboports nor any of the other 5 personal batteries.

What is interesting is that this seems to work once per surface, and I'm not sure why.

Code: Select all

Can you reproduce this on a fresh save file? Likely you have the pre configured spidertron in logistic storage.

[thedoh]

I'll give it a try.

I did try a few reproduction attempts in the live save. The first trial was to send a spidertron to a planet's surface and none of the requisite items. The construction bots on the planet's surface built the spider with items. The next trial was to use a spidertron on Nauvis that only had a Spidertron in its inventory and it was able to produce a spidertron with the aforementioned items. Granted, this builder spider had some a set of the items equipped for itself (but those remained after the second spider was built).

I had the related item where I sent a few pre-equipped spidertrons to Gleba and ghost build them, only to lose all my equipment.

You didn’t lose anything. The robots took the equipment out and put it into storage.
