Factorio Forums

In the Factorio_0.18\data\core\lualib\ you can find the file event_handler.lua which allows you to run multiple control files without script changing.

How to use it?

I've found some examples in the Factorio_0.18\data\base\scenarios\freeplay\freeplay.lua and Factorio\data\base\scenarios\sandbox\sandbox.lua

How of are you using by modding this feature?

I use it in the base game scenarios PvP, Wave defense, and also in my mods,
Such as example: https://github.com/Klonan/Transport_Drones

Basically each lib script returns a few things, such as a table of events, a function for on_init and on_load, etc.
And the event handler script will hook all of them

Is it the same as event register? viewtopic.php?f=34&t=49186

I don't know, I have never used that system

Same spirit, slightly different implementation, but only vaguely.
