Hey mark, noticed your library indeed! I read about the use of TCP however the outputs being in different order is still kind of messing with me, I need to check if it is coming from the python-valve lib or the game side. Maybe the python-valve lib does get confused by it using TCP. As for your own ...

Hey, so I figured out what was wrong! Indeed character is exactly what I need but while testing I accidentally created two characters at same position on the surface. That seems to box the characters in, which means that if I tried to set the walking state, it would animate but not change position. ...

Small update, I was looking at https://github.com/yournamehere/factorio-tas-playback/blob/master/control.lua#L33 and playing with it. It uses entity name "player" which does not seem to exist anymore (as per. https://wiki.factorio.com/Data.raw). "character" does exist though and ...

That's pretty cool, did not see that! (just used --help). Do you think it would be possible to add a sub-command to factorio (like --create) which would do this without launching a new game to access the LUA console? This would be a lot more practical! edit: Other option, just allowing --create to t...

I would estimate this to happen every one in 4 launch. Since it can be seen in main menu already, I just relaunch the game. Often it happens a few tim...

Hello,

Is there a way to create a player/character from RCON using the LUA API? This would allow creating scripts that could behave like players, in order to simulate games (TAS)

Cheers,

Hello, Working on a TAS, I worked on a small command to start a fresh headless server from a map exchange string in a VM. I have this working now, but it took a while because it seems like the wiki entry for Map exchange string format is partially outdated. Is this page maintained in any way by the ...

Hello, I have started working on a potential TAS and was looking at using RCON to control the game. The original idea was to try to use python-valve to do that, however I have run into an handful of issues. In a document from valve describing the protocol , they describe the multipart behavior (whic...
