Modding helper VS extension
I've developed a Visual Studio extension to help out with modding a little bit. It adds several buttons to the toolbar for building different configurations and launching things.
After installing the extension you'll need to show it on your toolbar by going to View->Toolbars->Satisfactory Quick Buttons.
Once the buttons are showing you can remove any extras you don't need by clicking the 3 dots on the right end of the buttons and selecting 'Add or Remove buttons'.
There are some configuration options as well. You can access them by going to Tools->Options->Satisfactory Quick Buttons->General

@Jarno (the Archipelago guy) I think you'd like this
@Mircea (Area Actions) do you know how viable it would be to ship this with the modding project? I know core vs components can be in that vsconfig but I'm not sure about extensions
Pretty sure it would just be commited on its own to the repo in an Extras folder or something, and people would have to install the extension themselves
Nvm, apparently paths are supported, but it's unclear whether relative paths are supported or just absolute ones (like their example)
It would have to be in the local .vsconfig though, which gets generated by UE, so that would mean an engine patch
