The next time the spiders show up, just sic the hinges on them. Hinges are like the ultimate multi-tool.

when you drill you attract spiders as well

Are you able to build searchlight? It is DLC so not everyone has it, but uses fewer resources and takes up less space than a custom turret spy camera with the added bonus of being a spotlight.

[@Oearth]

I believe I can…it probably doesn’t use metal grids (I’d have to check), but that a nice alternative.

[@CyberKeith]

@@Oearth Warfare 2 DLC is required, but it doesn't need metal grids. You can control it like a turret.

[@Oearth]

I buy every DLC of this game almost immediately! 🤣
In thinking about it now, it’s probably a happy accident I didn’t use the searchlight so I could provide a more vanilla way to do it - I forget sometimes about looking up DLC block and what might not be available to a viewer. 👍🏼

Please stop doing all the fun stuff in the bloody dark, we can't see anything you are doing 😠
