I haven't got to spidertrons in Space Age yet but think this, esp. the Trash Unrequested option -- is a game-changer for them.

Last time I played vanilla 1.x, I created a spidertron builder team (about 6 spidertrons, each specialized to something else like defense, trains, landfills, logistic, factories...). I spent good half an hour tuning the logistic requests, only to find out that practice their inventories get clogged really fast up with wood, stone and anything I would have them deconstruct (usually long parts of previous wall).

I suppose this problem would be gone now--just enable Trash Unrequested and you're done.
