Medical Arachnid not working...

For helping someone (I think the "Zephyr" inventor), I got a medical arachnid and a schematic for building more. However, I can't activate the darn thing. Right now, I have Magnus (an NPC of mine) lugging the thing around, and it's slowing him down horribly. How do you activate it?

You already try putting the spider in the quick slot?

This is weird...

It works now...but it's really weird... basically, you have to throw the Arachnid at a party member, and it will open up and start walking... but don't click on it, cuz it will curl up and you have to then either pick it up or leave it behind... kindof a pain really... but an awesome NPC!

IIRC, using the arachnid is awkward. You have to "throw" it on the ground.

That's a bug jariah, search the forum and you'll find an unofficial patch that fixes it.
