Option to disable removal of similar output from scripts

[jorgenRe]

Hi, it would be neat if it was possible to stop the chat from removing parts of what is printed to it. Since sometimes when debugging it may feel a little to agressive. Take for example a line divider that it only displays once because it always is similar.
It is of course a simple fix by making sure every output is unique, but sometimes that isnt something a new mod developer may do.

example when it is supposed to output:
-------------
x,y
makes 5 power
-------------
x,y
makes 12 power
-------------
x,y
makes 5 power
But instead it outputs, due to said thing above:
-------------
x,y
makes 5 power
makes 12 power

Thank you, and ps i am happy whatever happens

If you're debugging stuff just use the log(...) function that writes to the log file instead of in-game.

Or use game.write_file to make your own log file

I guess that is a better option sometimes, but i like to see the debug straight away when testing something that has a lot of variables that changes depending on what you put in a chest. Creatinga modular nuclear reactor Industrial craft 2 style

Just open Factorio windowed and use a program like http://tailforwin32.sourceforge.net/

Or just, you know, launch the game through cmd and use `print` (lua standard).
That one looks much better than ingame console, it's only downside is that it's stdout but not stdin.
