I have a bit of a problem in RSO currently. When handling resources I need to get surface specific information to check resources when player is created.
It causes a problem in sandbox mode - since player is a god controller it has no character attached. And I don't see any other way to get access to surface that player is on from LuaPlayer object.

Is it possible to figure out on which surface god controller is?

I can't test it right now, but it must be just:

game.print(game.players[player_index].surface.name)

This is right, just game.players[k].surface

Hmm it is indeed. After reading the docs again in the morning.. it's slightly hidden in the derived from LuaControl section in LuaPlayer docs.
