Scheduling a job issue

Questions & Answers
1

I’m trying to schedule a job for my ECS system, I’m following the docs on ECS docs
specifically the handling of the job:

        protected override JobHandle OnUpdate(JobHandle inputDeps)
        {
            MovementJob moveJob = new MovementJob
            {
                topBound = GameManager.GM.topBound,
                bottomBound = GameManager.GM.bottomBound,
                deltaTime = Time.deltaTime
            };

            JobHandle moveHandle = moveJob.Schedule(this, 64, inputDeps);

            return moveHandle;
        }

When trying to schedule this job on my own class
I get this error: 130453-screenshot-1.png even though the plant system derives from the job component system public class PlantSystem : JobComponentSystem

Full code:

public class PlantSystem : JobComponentSystem
{
    [Unity.Burst.BurstCompile]
    struct PlantJob : IJobProcessComponentData<Position, Plant>
    {
        public float health; 
        public void Execute(ref Position data0, ref Plant data1)
        {
            if(data1.health < 10000)
            {
                float data2 = data1.health;
                data1.health = data2 + 1;
            }
        }
    }

    protected override JobHandle OnUpdate(JobHandle inputDeps)
    {
        PlantJob plantJob = new PlantJob
        {
            health = 1.0f
        };
        return plantJob.Schedule(this, 64, inputDeps);
    }
}

Well, now I’m testing with 10 000 simple spheres, and I noticed it makes a big difference to have the material checked with enable GPU instancing. With that on I get about 30 FPS with a low end machine
I was also worried about if there is no batching at all without that Schedule integer argument , but I don’t know how to check that

My code to create entities is created from watching tutorials, mostly from Samuli Natri’s ECS youtube tutorial and blog. https://samulinatri.com/blog/unity-ecs-entity-component-system/ and also some other tutorials around
