.unity] | Feature | *(Unity Editor) Full Integration means that systems & components can be made, disabled, enabled, and configured in Unity Editor. # How can I contribute? Find a table cell (or multiple) that isn't filled out, and make an issue/pull request about it. While stating why it's true (explanation doesn't have to be very sophisticated or sourced/grounded, most of the time). OR Find a table cell (or multiple) that has a quesiton mark, and source why it's true/untrue with an issue or pull request. # FAQ Q: Why not split the table? A: I think the table isn't big enough for a split to be valuable, and it's easier to check for all the features you'd want with one glance, instead of going back and forth between two tables. Q: xECS isn't here, why's that? A: Idk, ask about it in a new issue, it might be too niche, or something. [Leo
