I'm aware of the LuaPlayer alert api but that is per player only. I would assume the Map Pin API would, logically to me, belong under LuaForce since when a player creates a pin it is visible to all players on that force.
If this API doesn't exist can I get this post moved to the API request forum?
Justification for this API:
- Mods could export all of the pins for usage in external [screenshot generated] maps. FactorioMaps.com operators would love this, I'm sure, and so would my, currently neglected, FactorioMaps mod.
- Player created Scenarios and the 0.17 NPE campaign could make use of this as quest location or other important markers.
