Long time Factorio, first time FUE5 - figured I'd try and help out a bit: an update for the readme, perhaps?

"

To use this mod, follow the steps below:

INSTALL THE MOD

  1. Download the FUE5BASE/FUE5-Exporter mod using the ZIP option - usually at top right on the github site
  2. Move the downloaded zip file to wherever your Factorio mods folder exists - usually %APPDATA%\Factorio\mods\
  3. Rename the zip file from github probably named it something like "FUE5-Exporter-main.zip" but Factorio needs it to be renamed to FUE5Exporter_2.0.0.zip

EXPORT GAME ENTITES

  1. Start Factorio and ensure the mod loaded okay, then load whatever save game you'd like to export
  2. Bring down the Factorio console (usually the tilde ~ key) and paste the command below:/c game.player.insert"FUE5Exporter__export-selector"6. (if you care about achievements, then yes this command will disable them, but if you don't save the game afterwards you'll be fine)
  3. As your character (not in map mode) the tool you just gave yourself (blue E icon) should be in your inventory
  4. The tool works like the blueprint creation tool - use mouse to select an area you'd like to export as a JSON file
  5. When you let go of the mouse button, you'll see a console message "Export done" - there should now be a file called "exported-entities.json" in your script output area - usually %APPDATA%\Factorio\script-output\

LOAD INTO FEU5

  1. Locate the folder where you cloned the main FUE5 project
  2. Copy the "exported-entities.json" file to the folder ...\FUE5\Content\MyStuff\JSON\ (you may need to rename the file that's already there)
  3. Traverse back up to the main project folder and open the file ...\FUE5\FUE5.uproject which should render the selected area you just exported
  4. Inside the Unreal Engine, hold down the right-mouse button to enable mouse-look, and use WASD to move in different directions (use Q and E to change elevation).

FAQ:
Q. Will the new Space Age entities work?
A. No - currently there are no assets for the new items from Factorio's Space Age expansion. Suggest exporting areas from your Nauvis base, for now.
