Where to find data files on miners and smelters

does anyone know which game file stores all the data for portable miners, smelters, etc..? I just want to tweak certain stats on these machines
Solution:
Content in Unreal Engine games is baked, like a cake; you can't change the ingredients after it is done. To modify content you need its source, to rebake it, or to use a mod like ContentLib that can affect it at runtime. Read the docs to learn more.

I'm not sure, it's certainly not the usual use case I think most likely you'd need the full modding setup

No, there's nothing like that that's only really common in smaller games with custom engines

>modding Either for help with ContentLib or with modding in general, you'll probably need this role:

You seem to have questions about modding. You should grab the Aspiring Modder role from Discord's role selection page (<id:customize>) and then read the docs carefully (https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/index.html#_for_developers). If you still have questions after that, please go to #help-writing-mods!
