I can’t find any option in the editor to keep the cook server running all the time - the only reference I can find in the UI is that it starts up the cook-on-the-fly server when launching on device. Do you know a better way to get the cook server running?

I’m not aware of editor UI that just starts the cook server and does nothing else. But there’s a great deal I don’t know about the editor :). I typically just kick it off from a command line (ue4editor <project> -run=cook -cookonthefly).

Is it practical to get this content deployed automatically, or perhaps hard-link it in, as part of the regular build process?

I’m not very happy with this either. The trouble is that the content may be very large indeed, and it would need copying (UWP won’t follow any kind of link to a location outside its package).  I think the best would be to expose it as an option to the user, but then there isn’t a very good home for it - the project launcher UI doesn’t seem to support platform-specific customizations, so it would probably end up in the project settings.

Indeed! It’s tempting to start something, at least with key information from this thread, for later refinement.

Please do!  We’d love to see more community involvement in the project.
