trying to add a custom alternate recipe to a default milestone
i added my alternate recipes with their recipes and schematics, then linked the schematics to schematic_5-1 which should represent the tier 5, 1st milestone following the example mod steps, but after loading this and testing, it does not appear at all.
i was looking into contentlib but i read its for overwriting information so i didnt think that suited my goals. i added a photo for one of my schematics and recipes as well.
i spent the past three days trying to figure it out and figured it would be better to ask for some guidance at this point lol...
Solution:
This is the best result I got from the SMD :

Adjust volume of a custom Boombox tape
I added a custom boombox tape with the help of this guide:
https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/Development/Satisfactory/Audio.html
It works, but music plays at maximum volume and doesn't react to the volume slider. So i set up an audio bus, assigned my songs to this bus, created an RTPC parameter, linked bus' volume to that parameter and created an AK Game Parameter in Unreal for that RTPC. ...

Adding my own buttons to BPW_MapMenu
I'm looking for some help from somebody who knows about UI/widget modding. I am attempting to add some buttons to the BPW_MapMenu hierarchy. Specifically, the map menu has the "Show Stamps on Map" checkbox button at the bottom and I'm trying to add some of my own buttons alongside it. I've attached an unreal editor screenshot of the hierarchy I'm talking about, with the button I'm trying to create siblings for highlighted.
My approach has been to create a UVerticalBox containing my button (starting with one) and add it to the [Overlay] widget, so the vbox is itself a sibling to the mShowStampsButton. But nothing I added to the vbox shows up. I am inexperienced with UI programming, so I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or just falling into common pitfalls. Here's some code to show what I'm doing:
```cpp...
Solution:
To recap the solution, rather than piece together widgets in C++, I made the whole widget in UE and then used Bind on BP Function: Construct to find and insert the widget at runtime, but only because widget blueprint hooks didn't work (the widget only got inserted on the first map screen open... there's a quirk there that somebody might want to sort out... I'd do it if I had more time right now). Then I had to sort out button layout and alignment, which yeshjho helped with.
Trying to access game meshes with FModel.
I tried following the steps on this guide https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/Development/ExtractGameFiles.html on how to extract game meshes from the game, but it didnt seem to work.
I had at first discovered the fact that I needed to use Unreal 5_3 on my own, which allowed me to view the files in general. However, many files are missing from the lists, which can be seen in the screenshot below where I am viewing the FICSIT foundation folder, where there should be far more pieces than are actually present.
I tried following the other steps, like inserting the custom versions information, and providing the directory to the Local Mapping Directory (.usmap) file but this did not help....
