I found a way (crapy one) to implement the server-client logic to factorio using global table:

global.player_index = 0

local get_player_index = function()
	global.player_index = global.player_index + 1
	return global.player_index
end

and you need to execute this code for all (new) players:

local player_index = get_player_index()

And you may also use another instance of global table to match player names with their indexes.
