Asset Toolkit doesn't work with Steam version of the game ?

Hello, i tried to run this tool to have a more enjoyable SDK
But i encountered several issues, i tried some workarounds but it still doesn't generate the assets

Firstly, the FactoryGame-Win64-Shipping.exe doesn't exist on steam, it's FactoryGameSteam-Win64-Shipping.exe
When i try to run the same command with the proper exe, it shows the Descriptor file doesn't doesn't exist
So i tried to duplicate this exe and renamed this copy with the proper name without "Steam"

This time it runned, but after that it launched the game despite the -nullrhi parameter

In the logs it pretends to extracted 12k assets

But they are not findeable (not in FactoryGame/AssetDump/ or anywhere else in the game folder)
Same directory size too
(Indeed the extraction took 12 miliseconds tho)

I tried to remove the -EpicPortal -NoSteamClient arguments but that doesn't changed anything
I tried -RootAssetPath=/FactoryGame and /Content in case the 1.0 changed the entire path of the games assets, but seing all the other mods being updated without much issues since several days, i don't think they changed it anyway

Did i missed anything ?

Solution

i dont know if the Asset Toolkit has been updated for 1.0 yet.

You're likely to get more information in the #discussion channel under Making Mods

@Lynkfox [Vanilla Recipes Ext] but don't put it as solved :c it's not

It's solved as far as #help-using-mods is concerned, because you've been directed to the right place

You need to add FactoryGame as the first argument, so

uncertain-scarletOP•10/13/24, 9:11 PM

it did exactly same
runned the game despite the argument to avoid it
and pretended to create the assets in some ms

yes it's what i did

Rex•10/13/24, 9:14 PM

Oh, sorry, I see it literally above

uncertain-scarletOP•10/13/24, 9:15 PM

tried without the -EpicPortal -NoSteamClient too

Rex•10/13/24, 9:16 PM

Hmmm, I'm afraid I'm out of ideas atm (probably because I'm tired)

uncertain-scarletOP•10/13/24, 9:17 PM

it's okay, thanks anyway for trying

uncertain-scarletOP•10/13/24, 9:19 PM

excuse me, do you have any other suggestions ?

uncertain-scarletOP•10/13/24, 9:27 PM

i just tried to copy the game folder from steam to appdata/roaming and retry here to be sure i have all the permissions on this directory, no change

Rex•10/13/24, 9:41 PM

Huh?

uncertain-scarletOP•10/13/24, 9:41 PM

ah, wrong chat

uncertain-scarletOP•10/13/24, 9:41 PM

i try to get help from a friend elsewhere

uncertain-scarletOP•10/13/24, 9:42 PM

the -nullrhi and -ExitOnFinish both doesn't work, they change nothing with or without
in each cases the game run twice, one time in console mode, which close alone after a couple of seconds (even without -ExitOnFinish)
another time with render (despite the -nullrhi)
