			== Packaging sequence ==
			We cannot click on "Build All Levels" as UE 5.1 breaks the lights if you do so. Reason is that "Build Geometry" makes the light disappear from the editor until relaunch, and breaks the relight.


			Sequence I used is:

			# Load the Persistent level first
			# Loaded ALL the submaps
			# Be sure to have the current level selected as the Persistent Level
			# Build Paths (about 10 minutes)
			# Ensure Build->Lighting Quality->Production
			# Build Lighting Only (about 1.5 hours)
			# Save all

			Got this error while packaging on Mac:

			Unable to load module '/Users/luke/PSUnreal/Binaries/Mac/UE4Editor-PSUnreal.dylib' because the file couldn't be loaded by the OS.

			I fixed it by running this command after the error occurred, than restart the build:

			install_name_tool -change Wordnet.dylib @loader_path/Wordnet.dylib /Users/luke/PSUnreal/Binaries/Mac/UE4Editor-PSUnreal.dylib
