 ## Quick Start
 
 The fastest way to setup and test nebula is to clone the [Nebula-demo](https://github.com/gscept/nebula-demo) instead. It contains a setup.bat which will setup dependencies and configure a 
-solution for you to run. If you add a `-editor` commandline argument it will start with the editor ui enabled.

+Alternatively you can build and run the project manually with `fips build`, `fips run assetbatcher` and `fips run nebula-demo --`. If you add a `-editor` commandline argument it will start with the editor ui enabled. 
 Apart from that there are a few simple projects in the test folder. 
 Fips will take care of getting the relevant dependencies (including the actual engine in case you are setting up a external project)

 In your project directory:
 
   1. `fips physx build vc17 debug` (if you are running VS 2022, use `vc16` or `vc15` for vs 2019/2017 instead)
   2. `fips anyfx setup`
-  3. `fips gen` to generate the required build system files, e.g. a visual studio solution
-  4. `fips build` to directly compile the project
-     or
-     `fips open` to open the generated solution in your selected environment

-### Adding files
+### Adding files – `fips gen`
 If you are adding new files, either source or templates or other flatbuffer things that you add to cmake or a cmake subfolder will typically picked up by running `fips gen`. This will regenerate your solution via cmake, in case you are using visual studio it will normally 
 notice and prompt reloading. Generally calling `fips gen` is a safe operation you can do if dependencies change etc.
 
-### Updating dependencies
+#### Location of build files
+Fips will place the solution and makefiles and the like in the `../fips-build/{PROJECT-NAME}/{CONFIG}/` folder. Easiest is to just use `fips open` to start your editor
+
+### Updating dependencies – `fips update`
 The project you are working in is commonly synced with e.g. git or some other version control, if you have other fips dependencies that changed, you can do a `fips update` to perform a git pull on the depencies used.
 
-### Dealing with content
+### Compiling the project – `fips build`
+(Re-)Building the project is possible either via the generated solution (`fips open` to open it quickly) or manually with `fips build`.
+
+### Dealing with content – `fips run assetbatcher --`
 Content is usually batched using the `assetbatcher` contained in the nebula repository which is built by default by projects as well. Running it will incrementally convert or cook content in your `work` folder to an export folder in the project location. It has a number of options to force or only batch specific folders, as well as 
 the option to be run in parallel. Running it with `-help` will print some of the options available.

+## Running the project
+To run the debug project without editor tools, use `fips run {PROJECT-NAME}` or run a debug session in your solution opened with `fips open`. Use `fips run {PROJECT-NAME} -- -editor` to run the project with editor ui enabled. 
 
 ## Features
 Nebula is being developed continuously, which means that features keep getting added all the time. Currently, we support this:
