I used them to read production/consumption data from the game, with the get or counts members,
but I wonder what is the use for set_input_count and set_output_count ?
Will they override data of the game ? Losing any production statistic from the beginning of the game ?
Is it to "reset the counter" of a force statistics ?

It allows you to modify the values for what ever purposes you so deem necessary.

But we agree that then you lose any total count from the beginning of the game (tick = 0) ? There is no way to get back ?

Yeah, if you erase the numbers they're gone.
