FactoCord -- a Factorio to Discord bridge bot for Linux
NOTE: This is a fork of the original FactoCord, which updates its dependencies and wraps it in a simple Docker container.
Running
Make sure you have your .env file in the same directory as the executable/binary, you can use .envexample the template
There are two ways of starting FactoCord
- Using the start.sh bash script (bash start.sh or ./start.sh) (make sure you chmod +x the script first)
- Manually running the binary (./FactoCord)

FactoCord uses the following packages:
You will need to add these lib as go get:

Error reporting
When FactoCord encounters an error will log to error.log within the same directory as itself.
If you are having an issue make sure to check the error.log to see what the problem is.
If you are unable to solve the issue yourself, please post an issue containing the error.log and I will review and attempt to solve what the problem is.
Windows Support?
Currently I haven't had any luck getting FactoCord to run correctly on Windows, see this for information
If a way is found to fix this problem, then Windows support will be added.
