I wanted to use Foreman 2.0 (Factorio Planner but outside the Factorio game) to experiment with a different Factorio Planner, but got a issue when trying the Foreman 2.0 tool. What Foreman 2.0 does is running the game in the background, so it can load all the entities in the Foreman 2.0 tool (I think).
This means that the control.lua script gets executed by the Foreman 2.0 tool, without any players.
When running the tool with import I got this issue:
0.000 Error Util.cpp:83: The mod PyBlock (0.2.2) caused a non-recoverable error.

---------------------------------
It had something to do with this personal greeting method:
script.on_configuration_changed(function()
if game.players[1].name == 'kingarthur' then
game.print('i see you')
end
end)
To fix this issue the only thing needed to change is the implementation if the game has a player named 'kingarthur':
script.on_configuration_changed(function()
if not game.get_player('kingarthur') == nil then
game.print('i see you')
end
end)
When running Foreman2.0 The issue is resolved with the second implementation. The only thing I can't test is if the personal greeting message still works, since my name is not kingarthur.
