Whatever you do I highly recommend staying away from writing code to pluck individual pieces and chunks out of an asset bundle and putting it into your game at runtime.

The reason: there are a staggering number of ways this can go wrong, and it becomes a REAL pain to maintain, just a complete disaster going into the future. Utter trainwreck. Stay away. Fear. Loathing. Discontent.

Instead, simply load an entire scene out of Asset Bundle or Addressible. That way when you update the scene and decide to update the downloadable, 100% of everything the scene references just gets automagically sucked into the bundle merely by being used in the scene.

Once you go scene, you never go back.

Also, additive scene loading is another possible benefit:

Also, if something exists only in one scene, DO NOT MAKE A PREFAB out of it. It’s a waste of time and needlessly splits your work between two files, the prefab and the scene, leading to many possible errors and edge cases.

Thank you for this detailed response.

Yes I was going to use addressables only for level scenes.

Since you seem to know the subject pretty well I’ll ask you some more questions if you don’t mind.

For my first build I used normal scene loading and LoadMode.Single.

Every thing I needed to was included in every level scene. Besides the level tilemap grid and I have all prefabs for Camera, UI, gameobjects and so on. In this any level can be tested on it’s own.

I have started to make a different build with multiple scenes. There are some scenes that will not be addressables.

• Main Menu
• Level selection
• EndGame scene
  All the other levels will be addressables.

In the build with multiple scenes it’s more difficult to test levels as I have always to start with another scene, and there are also double camera, audiosource problems, as well as other complications like these.

Do you think t’s better that I keep working on the multiple scene build or the single scene build it’s gonna work as well?

Thank you.
