spidertron follow and move

[monty1510]

Hello

I am playing in factorio 2.xx and i am in a sandbox. I found the remote for spidertrons but i cant get them to move after selecting or get them to follow. what am i missing?

You have to assign the remote to a specific spidertron. I believe you have to select the remote and right-click on the spidertron? I'm not 100% sure, I can't verify it myself right now.

select remote to have it in cursor, left click and drag to create a selection box, select spider, remote gets attached to selected unit, ( visible next to cursor that turned into a remote, now next to a spider icon), now right click will task previously select spider to move.

If you ever select a remote, your cursor turns into a remote, if no spider icon are visible next to the remote/cursor, none is selected/attached

Thank you for that. still not working. do you think sandbox might be preventing it from working?

no why ? have you tried not in sandbox ? both worked fine for me, could have a spider follow another one and another one and another forming like a convoy

You have many mods and it's unclear which action you are doing, although it look clear that you are able to "select" spidertron they seem unresponsive to what you did.

reading the tooltip of the remote usually helps if you rebind keys or if there is a particular interaction with a mod that could alter the behavior of spidertrons.

Thank you.. it was something to do with mods i think. i ran a fresh map with 2 mods, vesicle snap and one squeak through and was able to assign the spiders to follow me around this did not prior.
