# fac-status
One-call read of your state in the shared Factorio world, via the game
bridge. Cheap; use it freely before acting.
## Behavior
- Reports your character position, whether it is currently walking, the
server tick, and who is connected.
- Includes your last bridge action (from the activity log) and the last
few game-chat lines — check these for requests or corrections from the
human before starting new work.
- Returns `{status: "error", ...}` if the bridge process is not running.
