I don't understand the question. The best solution is the one you build yourself.

Explain to him how to do displays with lights and to type in them.

Then automate display production. And typing.

With the tilde/grave key (~) you start typing in the chat

This is one of the counter-intuitive things about the game. I should be able to press enter to type like in most games.

in a lot of games my first try is always T because of the ungodly amount of time I spent in minecraft growing up

I am so glad i don't have a number of hours for that game

I rebound my type in minecraft to / because I used to spend so much time mucking about in creative or on servers with commands.

The whole "tilde key opens the console" thing goes back at least to the 90s. It's not as common now I guess, but probably whoever wrote that feature in Factorio got used to it 20+ years ago and it stuck.

It's still the go-to key for the console. Factorio using it for chat is a bit unusual but not too far-fetched.

Still the console key in Unreal, so still pretty common! I guess fewer games leave the console enabled by default though.

I never had to type in the game. But i was trying to spawn stuff in a test enviroment and tried tilde to open console first.
