More game statistics available to external API interface

TL;DR

More game statistics available via RCON without "cheating" (disabling achievements)

What?

I just wrote a little "Status Webpage" for my shared multiplayer server. It lists things like who is online, for how long, factory age, and whatever other high level stats I can find.

I was wondering if there was some way to show some high level production stats, or individual biter kills, or even get the alerts that are happening right now.

Why?

The Console (RCON) already has a few basic statuses. Why not add more?

Note, it seems like it would be possible to use the

Code: Select all

/command

s to get some more of this detail, but using any of those would disable achievements (unless I'm mistaken).

Is this something you'd consider adding?
