Overview

Saving system for DOTS enables you to easily save and load all your unmanaged data with an UI driven workflow.


How?

Create a scriptable object Save Format and add the types you want to save in a handcrafted UI and let the source code generator do the heavy lifting for optimized serialize and deserialization code.

Then mark subscene entities or prefabs with a Savable Authoring component and you are done. Saved data will be efficiently laid out in a binary format and compressed with LZ4.


🎉 New in 1.5.0

Support for Unity.Netcode and saving/loading of individual entities!


🎉 New in 1.4.0

Components that were not present on a prefab and added during runtime are now supported. Also UnsafeHashMaps can be saved and loaded now.


Features

✔️ Create save formats in the editor UI

✔️ Save and load unmanaged data defined in save formats

✔️ Automatically keep track of subscenes

✔️ Ignore fields in structs

✔️ Create migration plans with an intuitive node based approach when the save format has changed

✔️ Prefab migration when prefabs have changed

✔️ Included Savegame viewer for easy debugging

✔️ Full Source code included

✔️ Works for mobile IOS/Android

🔑 License Info

This asset requires one license per seat (user who has access to the asset files). If you are a team then please consider buying one seat per Unity user.

Why am I telling you this?

Because most people do not know. In fact any asset found under the Tools category automatically falls under a license type that Unity calls Extension Assets (see official license explanation) which differs from the standard (Entity) license.
