Factorio Forums

FactoIRC is a bidirectional IRC bridge between Factorio and IRC. It comes as a plugin for the irc3 python module.

It can join one or more channels and forward messages back and forth between IRC and Factorio.

Some IRC commands are also provided :

• !rcon: Execute an RCON command and return the result.
• !players: Get the list of the currently online players.

Refer to the GitHub page for configuration and usage information.

Thumbs up! A really nice idea - I'll have to fire up my server again just to test this out, thnx for sharing

@Bisa: I just noticed it's partially broken with Factorio 0.14 : Factorio doesn't expose the username of peers in the logs anymore (even with verbose turned on) so join/part messages can't be generated.
Nothing I can do about that though (and I guess that breaks your logparser too!).

I posted a suggestion for parsable output here if you want to weigh in: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=30697

Of course there's always the alternative of constantly polling the connected players via RCON but I don't want to do that!
