The --dump-data flag was added to Factorio in version 1.1.77. This simplifies the whole approach significantly and makes it almost unnecessary to use the factorio_exporter at all. There is still the benefit of managing installed mods programmatically. We also still support conversion of the output to YAML, which is marginally useful.
Another flag --dump-icon-sprites was added as well that dumps pre-rendered icon images. This isn't used, yet, but we could use it to allow exporting a ZIP of icons.
