Save File Format[ | ]

Saving now uses Json serialization for easy to use, human readable format. More specifically, JSON .NET for Unity.

You can modify the physics properties of an object in the save file. By adding and modifying the PhysicsMaterial and Rigidbody. You can see an example of that in the Json below.

You can also change an objects scaling separately in each axis, unlike the uniform only scaling in-game.

Newly added in v4.0 you can control the shader for custom objects, check out the CustomShaderState below.

If you make any mistakes when editing a save, the chat will spit out a debugging error for troubleshooting.

If you have any questions on this topic feel free to post about it on our forums.
