I have long dreamt of automating Factorio in the way that HDL and a PCB router works: just specify the ingredients and it produces a Factorio Blueprint. First MVP stupid designs, then optimized routing, and eventually usable ingame where it connects with provided in/outputs. Would be more fun to develop than to play obviously.. I liked the nilhouse mega base with that factory-train-blocks blueprints, its basically Factorio DUPLO.

Someone created this Terraform provider for Factorio a few years ago: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/efokschaner/factorio/latest/docs https://registry.terraform.io/providers/efokschaner/factorio... I think this could be a good starting point for what you describe! This stuff is always more fun to develop than play. Since started working on this project, I can't bring myself to play the core game myself...

I've wondered if automating Factorio would free me of the compulsion to play it.
