    How do I get a medical arachnid to work? I searched the forums, found a topic about these, but it pointed to a file that no longer exists as the solution.

    Any suggestions?

    If you toss it on the ground, it's supposed to follow you around and administer healing as necessary. What does yours do after you release it?

    I seem to recall reading something about how the ones you build yourself don't really work, but the one you get from Maxim does.... Well if that's true, perhaps there is no solution to your problem. Except to get one from Maxim and forget about it. :)

    Not much help, am I.

    About the medical arachnid...a bug is causing it not to work, I think in the downloads...or hacks...theres a fix for that. But I have a question myself, what about the automaton gunners? I make them, but they're still the regular kind, and I wasted a good elephant gun. Is there a fix for that too? I'd like to know, because my Automaton army needs a few gunners.

    To my knowledge there are no automaton gunners in the game. Did you by any chance cheat in the schematic with a character editor?

    Canis, when I tossed my medical arachnid on the ground, it sat there in a folded-up lump and did nothing.

    Ray, thanks, I eventually found the mod that fixes this. :)

    I have run into this problem too. I am experimenting with files but no luck yet. :sad:

    The Medical Arachnid schematic is known to be broken. I have been told that Maxwell's schematic works, as does his Medical Arachnid. I have never tried his schematic, can anyone confirm this?

    Of course I cheated, I always try as hard as I can to cheat in every game I like, I consider it personalizing it. :)

    It does exist. I myself saw it while exploring the WorldEd in an attempt to make a module(gave up since after all my hard work my mod was just filled up with so much stuff it jams) To my knowledge, a medical arachnid DOES WORK in single player, but I have failed getting it to work in multiplayer.
