I'm no expert on the topic, but it looks like a protocol for interpreting hardware logic into a Factorio game board.

#4I would love to see some screenshots added to the README.
I get that it compiles a Verilog design into a Factorio Blueprint, but what does the resulting factory look like? Is it just a bunch of wires and combinators?
Re: Show HN: Verilog2factorio
#5Always thought programmatically generating Factorio blueprints was a really cool idea and Verilog seems like a great language to model blueprints, but this repo definitely needs more work before being shared with the world.
One of my favorite tools that shows what's possible: https://autotorio.com/example/outpost

No reason not to share works on progress with the world!

#9well how many man-hours do you need to intentionally waste before it is a good reason to not share? where's that line, for you?
one of the worst things about open source is all the absolute crap that is claiming to be useful. how many man-millennia have been wasted because of the armies of people who have posted something they're proud of, but is complete rubbish, on npmjs.org?

Wow please stop with this gatekeeping. Seriously, people "posting their crap" is a great thing about open source. More should be encouraged to do so. If you look at my github profile you'll find the crap I wrote when I was 15 and still learning lua and python. The repos are of course archived and not claiming to be "web scale and enterprise ready", but nobody should shy away from learning in the open.
You know what the worst thing about open source actually is? People who aren't owed anything, demanding to only see high quality code for their free enjoyment.
Seriously, this is a neat clearly proof of concept tool for a video game that is entirely about wasting time.
