Factorio Constant-Combinator REST API

This lets you control factorio constant combinators via a simple REST API.

Setup

• Enable RCON in Factorio
  • hold Ctrl + Alt and click on Settings in the Factorio menu
  • go to "The Rest"
  • set local-rcon-socket and local-rcon-password
  • start a new multiplayer game (single player has no rcon)
• Rename settings_sample.ts to settings.ts
• Adjust settings
• run npm install and npx ts-node-dev src/main.ts

API

The constant combinators are identified by the signal R set in slot 20. In the image below you would use /cc/995/signals

GET /cc/:id/signals - Get all signals of the circuit network connected to this combinator

GET /cc/:id/signal/:signalSlot - Get signalSlot

POST /cc/:id/signal/:signalSlot - Set signalSlot. Body must formatted like this

{
    "signalName": "iron-plate",
    "signalType": "item",
    "signalCount": "1"
}

DELETE /cc/:id/signal/:signalSlot - Unset signalSlot
