Is it possible to attach an ide lua debugger?

Post by theBeave »

Does factorio have any means to enable/attach a debugging tool to the userland lua interpreter to break on, inspect, and debug mods?

If so, how?
What is the address:port to connect with an ide? Does a particular library need to be included in a mod to enable?

If not, why not?
Certainly the lua engine could be enabled as such. Perhaps with an enabling commandline switch to opt-in to any potential performance hits that running such a server could add.

I realize this is 7 years old but for future people who might stumble upon this, there's now: FMTK
