A project can add paths in AdditionalProjectDirectories to specify directories other than <UERoot>\Engine\Plugins or <ProjectRoot>\Plugins that contain plugins.
But when adding a plugin in one of these directories and attempting to cook it as a DLC, it fails and creates an empty pak that will fail at runtime. The cooker is putting the files in the wrong location.
It is supposed to write them to <PluginRoot>\Saved\Cooked\<Platform>\RemappedPlugins, but it is instead writing them to <PlutinRoot>\Saved\Cooked\<Platform>\<RelativePathToPluginFromProjectRoot>
There's no existing public thread on this issue, so head over to Questions & Answers just mention UE-192828 in the post.
