City builder save systems are absolute monsters
I finally finished the save system for my city builder Venusville.
Took about 3 months.
I already had a save/load library from my first game, so I thought I was in a good place. Objects had IDs, ScriptableObject states could serialize fine, and I already had a clean marshal/unmarshal pipeline for state data.
Turns out city builders are a completely different monster.
The real problem wasn’t saving data. It was restoring *everything* correctly:
* prefabs
* dependencies
* object relations
* AI state
* third-party libraries that absolutely did not want to cooperate
One of the biggest changes was simplifying the start-up flow. Loading a save and starting a new game now both happen outside the play scene, so the play scene only has a single responsibility: restore from Scriptable Object state data.
Previously I relied heavily on prefab Start() functions and editor-assigned setup data for new games, which worked fine until save/load entered the picture. Dependencies became inconsistent really fast.
I ended up introducing 5 restoration phases:
1. Restore core objects (entities like people, buildings / interiors / resources)
2. Restore dependencies (between components and child components)
3. Restore relationships (between entities like people carry a resource)
4. Restore behaviour trees phase 1
5. Restore behaviour trees phase 2
The behaviour tree part was especially painful.
I use which is a great library overall, but it does some really questionable things internally. For example, it would wipe shared variables referencing GameObjects after I had already restored them. That kind of thing forced me into a bunch of ugly workaround systems where I had to cache and restore data around enabling behaviour trees.
Then came the hidden bugs.
I had a couple cases where data existed in two places instead of having one source of truth. Example: both issuers and people stored copies of the same contract data (like production in the Atmos Factory). Everything looked fine initially, but loaded games slowly started drifting into broken states.
Those were the worst bugs because they were slow-burn problems. Side effects would appear 5-20 minutes later and then spread through the simulation like a virus.
Anyway.
I can save and load a city builder now.

How would you use editable vector shapes as particle emitters in Unity?
I’ve been experimenting with this as part of a small Unity editor tool I’m building.
The idea is to draw or animate editable vector shapes directly in the Scene View, then use the shape edges or vertices to drive different Particle System emission patterns.
The GIF shows two shape-driven particle systems: one emitting from vertices, and one emitting from the edge.
I’m curious where this kind of workflow would be most useful - UI effects, stylized 2D VFX, magic effects, gameplay zones, map markers, or editor/debug visuals?
