Install

Mod Information

---

The main reason I made this was for the download stats.

Factorio.mod("bobassembly").then(function(info){
    console.log( JSON.stringify(info, null, 2) );
}, console.warn);

This will return the following information:

{
  "id": "bobassembly",
  "downloads": 452228,
  "updated": "a day ago",
  "versions": "0.13 - 0.17",
  "title": "Bob's Assembling machines ",
  "author": {
    "name": "Bobingabout",
    "link": "/user/Bobingabout",
    "id": "Bobingabout"
  },
  "license": "https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=28573",
  "summary": "Adds assembling machines 4, 5 and 6. And other machine higher tiers too.",
  "description": " ..long description.. "
}

User Information

Not much user information is available.

Factorio.user('Bobingabout').then(function(info){
    console.log( JSON.stringify(info, null, 2) );
}, console.warn);

Will return the following information:

{
  "id": "Bobingabout",
