I'm about to drop this one in the modding Discord, but I wanted to mention it to you directly, also.
The idea: A mod that watches for when the player has been AFK, and then starts up a slideshow of moving cameras at various factory locations.
Like, the player can either define a location, and a camera movement type ("orbit," "stationary," etc) and distance, and/or the player can define a route for a camera / "drone" to follow. I wanted to mention it to you, because when I was thinking about how I'd want the camera to move, I realized that a camera orbiting around a factory building is super cool... but a camera actually going THROUGH a factory, right there on the production floor, is still WAY cooler!
Ofc, an easy-easy-easy way to do something similar would be to just add an AFK check into InfoRobots, and then just cycle among the already-existing InfoBots' views. I do kind of like dedicated paths for cameras, tho. Sometimes I'd want to see the cam right next to machines (Like InfoBot view), but sometimes I'd want a cam to circle around the machines from up close to the ceiling. (Like a flying camera drone)
EDIT: Thinking about it, even having an option for just random locations around the world would be fun.
