Spidertron Weapon Loadout Squad

Features

Adds up to 9 user-configurable spidertron loadouts, each defined via mod settings. Just like the base mod, each of the additional spidertrons have their own unique recipes, as well as their own technologies, dependent on which weapons are included in its loadout (thus requiring the prerequisite weapons to be unlocked before crafting). They also have the same level of mod compatibility with the two hand cannon mods (which create portable versions of the tank cannon weapon).

How To Use

The in-game tooltip should hopefully explain this well enough, but each spidertron loadout is defined as a series of up to 6 weapons, defined by a "codename", and separated by spaces, commas, or semicolons.

Allowed values include:

• smg (submachine gun)
• shotgun (combat shotgun)
• flamethrower (...flamethrower)
• tank or cannon (tank cannon)
• rocket or launcher (rocket launcher)
• tesla (tesla gun, space age only)
• railgun (railgun, space age only)

So if you wanted a spidertron to have 2 submachine guns and 2 rocket launchers and 2 tank cannons, then you would write:

smg smg rocket rocket tank tank

Additional notes available for perusal in the FAQs

#Mod Compatibility

• Portable Hand Cannon - The original tank cannon mod, made exclusively for this mod. Unlocks alongside the Tank vehicle and shares the same graphic.
• snouz's Handcannon mod - This is currently the preferred version of the tank cannon mod, as of v2.0.2, since it adds custom graphics and technologies.

FAQ

Allowed Values

The allowed values for the spidertron weapon setting is actually more extensive than written in the mod description or the in-game tooltips. The true list of currently allowed values has multiple options for each weapon type:

• Submachine Gun

smg, submachine, machine, pewpew

• Shotgun

shotgun, shot, shotty, blam

• Flamethrower

flamethrower, flamer, flames, fire

• Tank Cannon

tank, cannon, snouz

• Rocket Launcher

rocket, launcher, boom

• Teslagun (space age only)

tesla, lightning, electric, zap, zappy

• Railgun (space age only)

railgun, rail, line, death

  If you can think of another interesting nickname for any of the various weapon types, I am open to ideas. The functionality remains the same, regardless of which "codename" is used.
