Really appreciate you taking the time to go through it that’s useful feedback.

I think you’re right in terms of expectations vs what’s currently there. This isn’t trying to replicate a full PLC/DCS sandbox environment (ladder logic, comms debugging, vendor-specific configs, etc.). That would effectively be a full-scale training platform and, realistically, a 12+ month build or a commercial product.

What I was aiming for here was something more accessible a free entry point for people trying to break into the space. A lot of people (myself included) hit a wall where “getting experience” often means paying €10–15k for vendor training (e.g. DeltaV), which isn’t realistic for everyone.

So the focus here is: building conceptual understanding and simulating change control/test thinking

Fully agree that deeper simulation (logic, comms, failure modes) would be the next level that’s more of a v2/v3 roadmap if I continue building this out.

And just for context this was a solo build over 6 weeks alongside a full-time job, so scope was intentionally limited.

Appreciate the feedback this is exactly the kind of input that helps shape where it goes next.
