[Mod request] Item Interchange

Hey there fellow modders,

i have an idea for a mod and need some input from somebody more experienced in factorio modding than myself, i stick to gaming. I was thinking of some kind of Interchange server where you can transfer items between different factorio servers, and even different other games. I have setup a little SQL Database and a very brief API based on HTTP and JSON. Now i need somebody enthusiastic who would like to do the Factorio side of the interface.

My idea for the beginning is something simple. Maybe a chest with a button to transfer its contents to the server or request some items, via simple web request. I have somebody who already takes a look at minecraft integration. Right now its more a proof of concept than a real project, but it can grow.

If anybody is interested, dont hesitate and contact me!

Have fun
Grey

Thank you,

i had heard of clusterio but didnt had the time to check it more deeply, but it seems to support the HTTP Call functionality factorio is lacking by default. I will contact the subspace storage guys as it seems they have already done the needed research.

Have fun
