Very cool project. How does this differ from https://github.com/fgardt/factorio-mod-template

Hi, they are really very similar, I honestly didn't look if there were similar systems, I got the idea and developed it, being that I am creating my first mods and every time doing the same procedures was getting tedious.

I thought to myself, why not automate this whole operation?

This is just the first version but I already have further improvements in mind and I tried to be as atomic in the steps to make the operations as modular as possible.
