1. output events from Factorio into Kafka. 1. Factorio mod listens to events. 2. For each event, it emits a file. 3. A Kafka Connector consumes each file. 2. Factorio Web Map reads data from Kafka 1. converts data to images 2. hosts a web map todo * add settings * is active - whether files are exported or not * delete files - clean up all files * tick-rate - how often reports are generated ( * requires on some sort of in-mod cache of map) * also divide by game-speed? to keep ratio the same to investigate: * https://github.com/starwing/lua-protobuf * https://github.com/grafi-tt/lunajson
