Bidirectional bridge between factorio chat and a Discord channel
This basically works by (1) scraping Factorio's log file and sending chat messages to discord and (2) relaying non-command discord messages on a particular channel to factorio via RCON.
| Environment Variable | Default | Info |
|---|---|---|
FACTORIO_DATA_DIR_PATH |
n/a | Path to the factorio data directory, used to scrape the logs and get the RCON password |
FACTORIO_LOGFILE |
factorio-current.log | The logfile to read, this might change between servers |
FACTORIO_HOST |
127.0.0.1 | Internal host/ip of the factorio server, used to connect via RCON. |
DISCORD_KEY |
n/a | API key for the discord bot |
CHANNEL_ID |
n/a | Channel ID for the bot to relay messages to. The bot will accept commands from any channel. |
Requires factorio data directory mapped at a location specified by the FACTORIO_DATA_DIR_PATH env variable and the --console-log $FACTORIO_DATA_DIR_PATH/factorio-current.log option on the host at FACTORIO_HOST or the Factorio_Event_Logger mod.
WARNING!! factorio-current.log does not output the chat in all cases, therefor it might be nescessary to create the factorio-console.log.
Also needs a DISCORD_KEY and CHANNEL_ID. To, you know, talk to discord.
