Is there a way to trigger an arbitrary event or user input?

Basically I want to run a save of a game, but instead of playing with mouse and keyboard I would like it to follow a script with predefined commands.

I think I have read about the devs doing something similar when they were filming the intro clip for factorio, so I wonder if it is possible to do it with the modding api.

Any advice on that?

Oh, cool! That is almost exactly what I needed, thanks!

Let me know if you want it updated to 0.16, my fork is the one where this would be happening.

Yes, it would be great if it worked with the latest version of factorion!

I think we last used it in 0.15.35, but it should also work with 0.15.40.

A working 0.16 version can be found here: https://github.com/Bilka2/factorio-tas- ... /tree/0.16
