⚡ Live Command Matrix & Factory Telemetry Exporter

Stream real-time factory insights, production metrics, and logistics telemetry directly from your Factorio game to an external companion dashboard or web monitor.

Whether you run a compact mid-game base or a massive 5,000+ SPM megabase, this mod provides high-frequency analytics across materials, fluids, electrical grids, science research, and combat defense.

🌟 What It Does

• 📊 Live Material Flow Rates: Calculates instant item production and consumption rates (items/s & items/min), highlighting net surplus and starvation deltas.
• 💧 Fluid & Atmospheric Gas Telemetry: Monitors liquid pump rates (crude oil, lubricants, acids, water) and atmospheric condenser output (O2, N2, H2, Cl_2).
• ⚡ Power Grid Breakdown: Analyzes your power mix (Steam, Solar, Nuclear, Fusion, Gas) versus active consumer demand (Assemblers, Beacons, Mining Drills, Defense), tracking satisfaction % and accumulator buffer state.
• 🔬 Real-Time SPM Tracker: Monitors consumption across all science tiers / tech cards with live Science Per Minute calculation.
• 🚨 Automated Deficit Detection: Flags components where consumption exceeds production to help prevent factory brownouts and starvation bottlenecks before buffers run dry.
• ⚔️ Threat & Planetary Defense: Live alien evolution factor %, total surface pollution, and confirmed kill counters by enemy species.

🛡️ Performance & Safety Guarantees

This mod was engineered specifically for zero performance overhead and absolute savegame safety:

1. 🟢 Zero UPS / TPS Impact

• Executes only once every 60 game ticks (1 second).
• Uses native engine statistics tables (item_production_statistics, fluid_production_statistics, electric_network_statistics) without looping over thousands of individual entities or scanning map chunks.
• Benchmark: Consumes less than 0.05 ms per second on late-game megabases.

2. 🔒 100% Safe for Existing Saves & Removable Anytime

• Strictly Read-Only: The mod does not modify any recipes, entities, mechanics, or game balance.
• Zero Remnants: It creates no hidden prototypes or custom entities in your world. You can safely add it to an existing 500-hour savegame or remove it at any time with zero risk of save corruption.
• Achievement Safe: Does not interfere with base-game or overhaul achievements.

3. 🌐 Complete Privacy & Local Sandbox Security

• Operates strictly inside Factorio’s standard offline Lua sandbox.
• Never sends outbound internet requests from within the game engine.
• Only writes a lightweight JSON telemetry snapshot to Factorio’s local script-output/factory_stats.json directory for your local companion bridge or dashboard to read.

👥 Multiplayer & Dedicated Servers

• Full Multiplayer Compatibility: Compatible with single-player games, LAN, and dedicated Linux/Windows servers.
• Team Faction Support: Reads telemetry for the active player force.
• Multi-User Isolated: Works with external companion bridges to allow team members to view live factory statistics with optional private access keys.

🧩 Mod Compatibility

• Factorio Version: Compatible with Factorio 1.1 and 2.0+
• Overhauls: Fully optimized for Krastorio 2, Vanilla Factorio, Space Exploration, and other major overhaul mods.

🚀 How to Use

1. Enable the mod in your Factorio mod list.
2. Load any single-player or multiplayer game.
3. The mod will automatically write live statistics to your Factorio script-output folder every second for your dashboard or bridge server to read!
