Hello how are you ?.
I am experimenting with a script that will display a list of the "providers" and "consumers" of the factories with a "script link" that allows "Delete" or "Add" a connection to another factory.
I need to use the tool "tool_link_factory", is this implemented?
I enclose my experiment:
Since it is a clickable tool in menucof.tab there is already a tool. I think a script can call any tool for which a menu entry exists.
tool_link_factory is there. Did you test your script?

Maybe i'm doing something wrong ???
local tool = command_x(tool_link_factory)
tool.set_flags(2)
local err = tool.work(player_x(1), tile, tile_fact, "")
There was indeed a bug, affecting scripted calls to this tool (and the stop mover tool). Please test again with r9154.

I think it works!
Now for the list, I am going to need a function that tells me if the factory is contracted with another factory and if the factory is associable with another factory.
Example:
factory_x().is_connected_with(factory_x()) and factory_x()is_connectable_with(factory_x())
This will allow me to display a list of possible suppliers or consumers that can be connected to the selected factory.
For the first, you can iterate through get_consumer and get_supplier. For the second, there is no function like this. You have to iterate through the list of all factories and search for matching input and output goods.
