-Description
+Sprayers are [[Anticreeper|Anti-Creeper]] (AC) weapons. They need Anticreeper from the [[Factory]] to operate. Sprayers can be set to collect Anti-Creeper from the terrain they stand on and return it to the Factory. They can also generate a field to attract Anti-Creeper within a radius. Range and speed can be upgraded globally from the ERN Portal or individually by giving one an ERN. For damage, movement, and upgrade data, see [[Player Unit Data]]
+Sprayers can also be set to be "Always On", which causes them to always deposit Anti-Creeper even if there is no Creeper in range. A Sprayer in this mode will prioritize firing at Creeper. If there is no Creeper, it will deposit Anti-Creeper directly under itself.
+Sprayers have several options that affect their functionality.

+The top part is similar to most other units and are the [[common unit controls]]. Of interest here are the specific controls for the Sprayer:
+  * <color green>**AC Collection**</color> When this box is checked, the sprayer has a field that will attract anti-creeper (and Creeper in the vicinity) to it, making as large a pile of creeper as possible and preventing the anti-creeper from spreading. . This is useful sometimes in conjunction with the next button -
+  * <color green>**Dispatch Ore**</color>. When this box is checked, the Sprayer will take anti-creeper from the terrain, and when full, dispatch excess anti-creeper as [[bluite]] ore to the [[Factory]]. This can also be used to arm a Sprayer that is not connected to the network, but standing in deep anti-creeper - it will continue to take anti-creeper from the terrain if it has to fire at nearby creeper.
+  * <color green>**Always On**</color>. When this box is checked, the sprayer will continue to disperse anti-creeper even if there is no nearby creeper to fire on. This will cause a pool of anti-creeper to accumulate on the terrain where the sprayer is located.
+Care should be used, as checking the wrong combination of options may be futile or counter-productive.
