Importing assets from FAB
hi, so maybe a weird question but i lowkey don't get UE that well - let's say I download an asset from fab (3d model) via plugin and it works fine when it's in all>content, but the moment i move it out to a modreference>content>buildables they all get borked (MIs, meshes losing their materials). On materials I got "Param2D> Found NULL, requires Texture2D"...
it breaks because of some redirectors maybe? is there a way to download an asset from FAB and have it work from the mod folder?

Solution
okay, so to include both ways and mark this question as answered, I'll merge it into one message:

Many thanks for the input guys!
Rex's approach:
1. download and install UE 5.3 from Epic Games
2. create a blank project in that UE 5.3
3. download the content from Fab and add it to that blank project
4. inside UE 5.3, migrate the assets you want to use inside a new folder at the root of the project (I called it AAA_Th3, any name should work as long as it's not already in use by FactoryGame)
5. in Windows File Explorer, copy the AAA_Th3 folder from the blank project to the modding project
6. open the modding project in UE-CSS and move the AAA_Th3 folder from Content into the plugin (mod) of your choice
MrHid6 approach:
you can use the Epic Game store injust click add to project on the asset then clickUnreal Engine -> Libraryclick on the FactoryGame project it will come up with an error about not being compatible, just change the version to 5.3 and clickShow All Projectsadd to project
Many thanks for the input guys!
