Is there any command to run this mod from RCON? #6

Since it's on a headless server, I'd like to run it from rcon or manually, but I can't find any documentation for this.

The taking screenshots doesn't work on headless servers since the server never does anything with graphics. The current Factorio API doesn't provide a way I could load up the graphics manually and render the screenshots myself much like DynMap does in minecraft.

So I have to download the save, do the map and then restart playing on the server?

Because if I click on the design map the server sees me hanging and then it kicks me out of the server before I finish the project.

You should be able to join the server, save the map locally and then load that saved game up in single player to take the screenshots needed for the map.

I would like to warn/forbid the mod from working in multiplayer but the factorio API is specifically designed to prevent you from knowing if the game is in single-player or multi-player mode when only one player is currently playing. :/

Maybe a simple warning on mod's page will do the work.
