What even is it? I read the github repo but that explains nothing about what it actually is.

  From the Github Readme[1]: Automat's objective is to be able to semi-autonomously play a variety of games. It's the first step towards a more general environment for interacting with computers. Currently Automat's functionality is limited to keyboard macro recording & playback. It's fairly unstable but if you're lucky and it runs on your machine, it can be useful for automating some basic actions. [1] https://github.com/mafik/automat https://github.com/mafik/automat

    That's not really helpful. It's software that plays games on its own? But also it's some sort of new GUI environment? But also, all it can do is record and playback keyboard macros? What actually _is_ it? edit: I haven't downloaded it because I don't have access to a Windows PC. But I guess, based on that description, it's basically AutoHotkey with a snazzy UI?

    Finally, I can automate Factorio.

  Yeah I had no clue what this site was until reading the comments. I saw you could move things on the page around, then gave up because I had no idea what the point was. I didn't even find the github link until I saw your comment and decided to play around more.
