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
-
Reference: Any% World Record gets automation in 7:33
- sets up & starts factorio server & configurable number of clients
- resizes Factorio client windows so the whole screen is equally used (windows only)
- integrated monaco lua editor which allows scripting of bots
- uses included factorio mod to read factorio instance ...
- recipes
- entity prototypes
- item prototypes
- entities
- resources
- Build Graphs of:
- Entity Connections with distance based weights
- Flow Connections with flow rate per second for each belt side/resource
- Bot Task Dependencies with time estimate based weights
- Example LUA Script which can:
- Plan some task with time estimation
- Find Seed which minimizes execution time
- Research Automation in MM:SS (work in progress)
- (optional) REST API Endpoints with OpenAPI specs
- read map contents by chunk for leaflet based Map View (currently broken)
- use whatever mods you want, configured in central location for all factorio instances
- should work on Win/Mac/Linux (not tested on Mac)
- MIT licenced
- Create ZIP from Steam Verson of Factorio
- Indicate Client Actions as Drawn Lines / Rectangle in the Factorio Client
- Download the latest release for your Operating System
- Download Factorio as .zip or .tar.xz (don't use the headless version!)
- Start the application and select your downloaded factorio archive under
Settings - Use the
StartButton in the top right to start the given number of factorio instances with given seed/map exchange string - Select the Script you want to run and execute it
