How does Jev take part?

Jev answers typed questions about goals and actions, per the README's one-line summary. The deterministic layer keeps the game rules and actuation, which the project frames as the separation between deciding and doing.

Do I need a Factorio copy or an API key to start?

No, for the offline mock loop: the quick-start section is labelled offline with no key and no game, so the loop can run without Factorio or model access. Live Factorio and a hierarchical controller are documented as additional paths.

What is the hierarchical controller?

An opt-in controller documented alongside the flat one; the README lists both, plus a dedicated-world FLE adapter, as shipped pieces of the project.

What is the FLE adapter?

A dedicated-world adapter listed among the shipped features in the README. The digest excerpt truncates in that section, so what FLE stands for and how the adapter is configured are not evidenced.

What is its status and license?

The README badges mark it experimental, Python 3.10+, Factorio 2.0 and MIT. The digest metadata for the repo is empty, so no creation date, push date, language or license is independently confirmed.

What is not documented in the digest?

The excerpt truncates in the shipped-features note, so the read-only dashboard, campaign supervisor and research logging are only partly described, and no benchmarks or results are shown.

Jev Factorio Agent

An experimental Factorio agent in which Jev chooses goals and actions as typed questions while deterministic code owns the game rules and actuation; an offline mock loop runs with no API key and no game copy, with live and hierarchical modes documented.

Highlights

Factorio agent where Jev chooses goals and actions as typed questions while deterministic code owns game rules and actuation.
Quick start is an offline mock loop needing no key and no game copy; live Factorio and a hierarchical controller are documented.
Shipped per the README: the mock loop, flat and hierarchical controllers, a dedicated-world FLE adapter, research logging and a campaign supervisor.
README badges: Python 3.10+, Factorio 2.0, experimental status and an MIT license.
Found via logicwr's list; the digest carries no creation or push dates and no license field for the repo.

Watch out

MCP tool routing: Jev in front of the tool call

Oct 16, 2026

Tool menus can outgrow the context that reads them. The catalog's Jev-based routers and gates narrow the list: benchmarked tool search, per-tool scoring, fail-closed approvals, and WebMCP in the browser.

Approval policies for coding agents: hooks, guards, and gateways

Oct 16, 2026

How the Jev guard family turns coding-agent permissions into auto-approve, deny, or ask: hooks that enforce, guards that fail safe, and gateways that gate generation.
