digiline_global_memory is a mod that adds a digiline component which has a global, database which is shared by all global memory controllers placed by the same player.

This can be used for syncing data between machines, e.g. the citylocator.

This would resolve #5029

Would a global space be readable and writeable by all players? Means, X writes something, Y writes over it?

Memory space is per player, and determined by who placed the memory controller node.

I noticed couple of things:

readme says: NOTE: the storage is not permanent and lost on shutdown - this is incorrect (so, readme is partially outdated?)
Changes are written to modstorage every 5 seconds, but only if player's data is marked as changed. There are 2 ways to change data: INC and SET messages. Data is not marked as changed on INC - so that's a bug.

we've already got those external memory cards for digilines, which i've never seen anyone use. the advantage of this is that the same memory can be accessed from multiple locations?

Yes. If you are just storing data on one luacontroller, you rarely have a reason to go out of your way use the external memory cards instead of mem. The reason you would use this is because it is shared between machines.
