Factorio Bot

What is it?

Factorio Bot is a platform for the game Factorio inspired by factorio-bot. It allows scripted execution of a factorio server and multiple clients.

Goals / Use Cases:

TAS (Tool Assisted Speedrun) to beat the world record with many bots which share the workload efficiently
Learning Environment to train Machine Learning algorithms within Factorio
Playground for Factorio Experiments

[x] sets up & starts factorio server & configurable number of clients
[x] resizes Factorio client windows so the whole screen is equally used (windows only)
[x] integrated monaco lua editor which allows scripting of bots
[x] uses included factorio mod to read factorio instance ...
- [x] recipes
- [x] entity prototypes
- [x] item prototypes
- [x] entities
- [x] resources
Build Graphs of:
- [x] Entity Connections with distance based weights
- [x] Flow Connections with flow rate per second for each belt side/resource
- [x] Bot Task Dependencies with time estimate based weights
Example LUA Script which can:
- [x] Plan some task with time estimation
- [x] Find Seed which minimizes execution time
- [ ] Research Automation in MM:SS (work in progress)
[x] (optional) REST API Endpoints with OpenAPI specs
[ ] read map contents by chunk for leaflet based Map View (currently broken)
[x] use whatever mods you want, configured in central location for all factorio instances
[x] should work on Win/Mac/Linux (not tested on Mac)
[x] MIT licenced
