Map Topology

I have the following suggestion, which might be easy to add or hard to add, depending on how tile coordinates are handled. Add the option for a finite map to be periodic in one or both directions. Allowing you to play factorio on a cylinder or torus. Something similar was also suggested here viewtopic.php?f=38&t=33913&p=214920#p214920 as a way of balancing team placement, however a sphere is far harder to do than a torus or a cylinder (in some sense impossible).
Practically this would be done by considering the coordinates of a tile modulo the width (and/or height) of the map. (Just for laughs and giggles, one could also do a Klein bottle.)
