1. For a competent ML researcher, this is trivial to build using VQA + MCTS + standard message passing.
2. MARL techniques with attention-based communication solved this years ago
3. It does not seem very "viral" or income-generating. I know this is premature at this point, but without charging users for the service, is it reasonable to expect to make money off of this?
2. Factorio is an unsolved game in multi-agent research.
3. This is a research environment. You can read our paper on Arxiv if you're interested! Nobody will make any money of this.

It's Mart, Neel and Jack from the Factorio Learning Environment team.
Since our initial release, we have been working hard to expand the environment to support multi-agent scenarios, reasoning models and MCP for human-in-the-loop evals.
We have also spent time experimenting with different ways to elicit more performance out of agents in the game, namely tools for vision and reflection.
Today, we are proud to release v0.2.0, which includes several exciting new features and improvements.
Thanks for checking this out.
