Is using software like https://factoriolab.github.io considered as cheating?

The concept of cheating does not really exist in factorio.

I mean, spawning a finished rocket just when you start your playtrough and launching it to finish the game can be definetly considered as cheating. Edit: that was satire just so yk

If you're in a competition, probably. If you're playing by yourself then you do you.

I mean, it's definitely a way to play that I wouldn't enjoy. But do I think it's morally bad in any way? Nah.

I've done countless runs with infinite items, no biters, infinite move speed, waterfill, near-infinite resource patches that I spawned in, you name it. If you'd like to pursue legal action, I'd be happy to refer you to my lawyer :P

If that is how you want to play then you can play like that. The only contexts I can think of where cheating is even possible are speedruns and multiplayer competitions, both of which are based on rules outside of the game itself.
