I like to think that the machines in factorio are built from blueprints that are bought by the factorio company (or whatever organisation that makes this cancerous factory growth happen).
So i decided to write datasheets (beacause im a wierdo that thinks that these things are fun) for the different items in factorio.
Currently there is only 1 (badly written) datasheet for combinators. I will finish it and another when i have more time.

Re: The factorio docs
These remind me of the Shenzhen I/O docs (pdf link), especially when thinking about the upcoming programmable speaker (FFF #175, found in page 27 of the linked pdf), were you perhaps inspired by it or maybe the TIS-100 manual?
I can honestly say that if everything else fails you can still get a job as documentator (is that a word?) for various dubious electronic devices.

You should also look at the power consumption and internal capacitor. (Christ)
I own and play Shenzien i/o, but i only started in the middle of making 3rd page
I like to think that the datsheet would be less of a tutorial if i didin't, though.

Re: The factorio docs
Love this idea - was just thinking the other day while looking at Shenzhen that it would be cool if Factorio had something similar.
Better forum search for modders: Enclose your search term in quotes, eg. "font_color" or "custom-input" - it prevents the forum search from splitting on hypens and underscores, resulting in much more accurate results.
Re: The factorio docs
this is great fun! documenting things like the electric furnace or the Modules is going to be ... Interesting, to say the least
