What changed
Unity feature: Tilemap Entity IDs
Tilemaps can use Entity IDs when setting tiles. This targets the cost of updating tile data rather than changing the way artists paint a level.
Use it
- Use the Entity ID tile workflow for code that frequently replaces or fills tiles.
- Compare the tile-setting workload in the Profiler before and after changing that code.
