Twitch Chat Bridge


⚠️ REQUIRES external Python bridge – DOES NOT WORK ALONE! This mod contains the in‑game remote interface and a single installer file (install_bridge.lua). Rename it to .py, place it in your Factorio server root, and run it with Python. The installer will set up the entire Twitch Chat Bridge automatically. Full instructions in the mod description.

⚠️ CRITICAL – READ BEFORE INSTALLING

This mod provides the in‑game half of a two‑part system. It does nothing on its own.
To actually relay Twitch chat into your Factorio server, you must also set up the external Twitch Chat Bridge (a Python script).

Because the Factorio mod portal forbids executable files (.py, .exe, etc.), the installer has been renamed from install_bridge.py to install_bridge.lua. You only need to extract this one file, rename it back to .py, and run it.


How to Install (3 steps)

  1. Find the mod folder – after subscribing or unzipping the mod, locate install_bridge.lua inside the mod’s folder (e.g., %appdata%\Factorio\mods\TwitchChatBridge_*).
  2. Copy the file install_bridge.lua to your Factorio server root – the top‑level folder of your Factorio server (the directory that contains your saves, config, and mods folders). Do not place it next to the executable or in any subfolder.
  3. Rename and run – rename install_bridge.lua to install_bridge.py, then execute it:
    ```bash
    python install_bridge.py

After extraction, read the README FULLY before starting your server or it wont work.
