Unable to find FactoryGame.sln in Project Folder/Failure to generate VS files
Hello,
I'm currently trying to set up the modding environment (for the second time, actually. I deleted everything from the first time to start again fresh), and I am currently at the step "Project Compilation", and I cannot find my FactoryGame.sln file. Searching in windows' search function yields no results.
Likely relevant: after the previous step (Generate Visual Studio Files) I get the error message: Some platforms were skipped due to invalid SDK settup: Win64, Linux, LinuxArm64. See the log file for detailed information

I followed the steps to the best of my ability so I'm not sure where the problem is
"No Windows SDK found." seems to indicate that you have missed the pre-requisite. This should have been installed when you ran the Visual Studio installer. Maybe you did install one but for the wrong Windows version (e.g. Windows 10 but you have Windows 11)?
Also do not use the provided config in the wiki, rather just manually install the shown packages in vs.
That will give you the latest working sdk, since the config is outdated atm.
uninstalled and manually selected all the bits to reinstall
It worked, I think? I got alot of warnings and errors when I compiled it, so I'm not sure if it's functioning correctly
Note: the "exit code 6" message which appears in build logs is very vague - it indicates that building C++ failed for some other reason. If you'd like help with this error, make sure that you also share the rest of the build output as described here (or from the Alpakit Log tab if you're getting this at mod package time)

so it sounds like you either missed a package or old packages are somehow interferringmore likely old packages from a previous attempt at modding, I'll have to keep going through to look for them
