In Wube’s Factorio, most players are familiar with building using the building train. However, there is a method of making this process even more convenient. This is by virtue of a powerful new machine featured in the game, known as the building Spidertron!
Along with the car and the tank, this is a non-rail vehicle that can be used for traversing rocky terrain in Factorio. Here we will show you how to build and engage in combat using the Spidertron in Factorio.
Basics of the Spidertron in Factorio
First of all, you should begin by researching the Spidertron. Fortunately, it does not really cost as much as you might expect. Acquire all of the science packs (except the space science) and go for 30 seconds at 2500 pieces. That will give you both the Spidertron and the remote. Although the Spidertron is a bit expensive, your factory is hopefully up to the challenge by now.
After successfully building your Spidertron, you can locate it in your inventory and put it down in the field, just like you would a car. On clicking it, you will see an option for changing its color and name. These are also visible in the tooltip of the Spidertron’s remote, which you can find in your inventory as well. Click it in the middle and use it to move the Spidertron around. You can do this whether you are sitting in the machine or not. The remote will come in handy for moving your Spidertron to different locations on the map.
