Status: Stable
Category: Asset
Use it when: you need to bake/export resources or data tables.
First task
Bake/export project data tables or resources, then validate outputs.
Inputs
Project resources ready for baking.
Outputs
Baked/exported data files or resources.
How it connects
Comes after validation and before export preparation.
Common mistakes
Baking broken data; not checking output paths; assuming bake fixes references.
Validation
Validate before and after baking; inspect output files.
First safe task
- Open the tool from Dreamcatcher.
- Start with one tiny project-owned output.
- Save or apply only one change.
- Run Content Validator or Quick Play before expanding.
Success looks like
The output exists in the expected project location, related references are visible in the Inspector/tool UI, and no validator error points to a missing path or deleted resource.
Common mistake
Stacking several generated outputs or gameplay connections before checking one simple result first.
