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 * http://lua-users.org/wiki/CompressionAndArchiving * https://luapower.com/zlib * https://square.github.io/okio/#communicate-on-a-socket-javakotlin * https://github.com/cloudhut/kowl * https://opensource.expediagroup.com/graphql-kotlin/docs/server/spring-server/spring-subscriptions * https://github.com/YousefED/typescript-json-schema * https://jbrandhorst.com/post/go-protobuf-tips/ #### CBOR https://www.zash.se/lua-cbor.html https://code.zash.se/lua-cbor/archive/68b3a36d0816.tar.gz
