Factorio mod to export data

Setup

To set up the datafactorio mod, follow these steps:

1. In runme/setup.ipynb, run the package_app function (set the path to the appropriate mod folder).
2. This process will zip the contents of the mod/src directory and place the zipped file in the mod folder.
3. Verify the installation by checking the mod section in the Factorio game menu.

Usage:

• ctrl+shift+U to open the export menu. Checkboxes toggle export types
• ctrl+shift+J to export the selected data. Export mirror checkboxes

Output

Exported files are output to the script-output folder within your Factorio directory. The filenames are generated with a seemingly random number followed by the type of data they contain, e.g., 123456-inventory.json for inventory data. These files are in JSON format, detailing the selected data graphs (nodes and edges) based on the user's choices in the export menu.

Site

To run the frontend for datafactorio, navigate to the datafactorio-site directory and execute the following commands:

1. npm install to install the necessary dependencies.
2. npm run dev to start the development server.
3. localhost:1234 (or similar) will serve the site
4. Select the file from the local factorio script-output
