Description
Core recently introduced a fantastic new example project called Producers, Buffs and Areas. This project provides easy to use systems that handle:
- Producers
- Builders
- Timers
- Gathering and Harvesting
- Placeables
- Object Loading
- Buffs and Interactions
Everything is very designer and artist friendly, and requires little or no coding. There are many use cases including farming, cooking, building, buffing, map loading, and more. You can learn more about this system at the video below:
Since the system is so new, we want to let creators know more about it. The goal of this tutorial is to teach players all about the Producers, Buffs and Areas system.
