Idk if this really is where this belongs but oh well.
So, yea like the title suggests, i made a Discord bot with which you can monitor, start, stop and save your factorio server. I made it cause i started a playthrough with my friend and having the server on either of our machines wasn't great but another friend had offered to run it on his actual server. We still wanted to be able to start and stop the server at will so i sat down making this Discord bot. Thought someone else might find this useful. And i'd love some feedback on it, maybe issues to fix that i haven't found during initial developement. Disclaimer however, this is my first bigger coding project and first over all when it comes to discord bots so a lot of the code, most if not almost all, was written directly by or in heavy support with AI.
Here's the link to the github https://github.com/Lucman00/Factorio_bot.
Made a Discord bot for Factorio Servers
Re: Made a Discord bot for Factorio Servers
Updated the bot. better start-server system and the ability to choose a save file.
Updated this again

what i added:
Automatic install scripts for Linux (install.sh) and Windows (install.bat)
Install script prompts for all required config values and writes .env automatically
all this to make it easier to use.
the install scripts never send anything and only access the Internet to clone the github repository.
otherwise i polished some things up, removed deprecated functions and unused code.
Once again I appreciate any sort of contribution and support. If you find any issues (weird edge case or not) i'm happy to look at it and try fixing it.
I would appreciate a feedback on whether or not it works on your machine.
Thanks!
