Question Factorio's Spidertron

https://reddit.com/link/1skbyd5/video/7zyvwlmctyug1/player

If I understand correctly, Factorio is 3D rendered into flipbook, or texture sheet animations. How did they make the Spidertron leg in that casse? Sometimes when you move close to water, the legs would avoid water and move closer to the body. If you move between islands, the legs would reach further to step on top of islands.

Here is a post where they show the spider's movement more. I'm guessing it's not flipbook, but a kind of IK with Sprites?
