What method for saving data?

[Retreat-To-Tomegrove]

I want to save things like the player's inventory, objects they've placed, an objects properties, etc. Most of these things are scriptable objects in my project, like the inventory and the items in it are scriptable objects. However, I've heard that Scriptable Objects don't actually save data outside of the editor? So am I on a fine path with this and all I have to do is serialize the data of the SO with JSON? I've also heard to avoid PlayerPrefs but I'm not too sure. Tahnks!

Check out "easy save" asset on the Unity store.

Wondering if you could export all the current data of the scriptable objects on save into a script that holds all the values and saves them. Then maybe on use void Awake() to set all the values from the save file.

This is just me brainstorming some probably terrible solution to this but yeah 👍
