Hello, is there any way to limit some code to server-side only execution?
Examples:
— make a record to some server-side log file, with date and time if possible;
— store an object with server-side only storage, with some internal scores which shouldn't be disclosed to another players.

Thanks, is there a way to add a date and time to output string?

Real time? Nope. Game.tick time is the only thing mods are allowed to know. You'd have to run a script on the server (outside factorio) that re-processes the output in real time.
