Is it possible to store information in a ScriptableObject?

Question

Unity

Is it possible to store user settings not in PlayerPrefs, but in a ScriptableObject file stored in resources? Are these files saved after the platform build? If it is possible, then why is it bad/good?

Answer 1

You can, but the changes will not be saved in the assembly, only in the editor. If you want to be saved, then you need to serialize the ScriptableObject and write somewhere to disk. When I last looked, changes to resource files only existed during the lifetime of the application. Except for the need for serialization, storing settings in a ScriptableObject is very convenient, especially if you need to look at or correct something in the editor.

Answer 2

These assets are readonly, they can store some game characteristics, but not user settings.
