Good afternoon,

I'm interested in building a bot that can run various actions when the users are logged off a headless server.

I have tried to create a new player using both the RCON interface and by modding it in lua - but it seems that the game.players table is read only.

Is there a known way to create non-human players in the headless server?

Thanks

Why do you need a player? A mod can do pretty much anything through the mod code already. A "player" would not add any capability. The only use I can come up with on the spot is to attribute building actions to the bot, as in the "last user" info slot.
