Feedback Are all assets put in final build?

Im just now downloading pack of 500 MB from unity asset store, and im probably going to use only a few sounds.
My question is:
Is unity going to inteligenly only put in those used assets into my builds or should i remove entire pack from my project and only leave in those im really using to reduce size of my game?

 

Only used assets or assets in resource are going to be included in final build.

 

Only the assets referenced by the scenes you include in the build are added to the build, as well as all assets in folders named "resources".

 

is that resource folder you are talking about something that unity creates by default? i cant find that catalog.

 

Some Assets may (still) come with this folder, but usually you'd need to create it for yourself if you need it. Newly created Projects don't have that folder, as it won't get created automatically.

At the best, you should not use the Resources folder. Improper use of the Resources folder can bloat the size of a project’s build, lead to uncontrollable excessive memory utilization, and significantly increase application startup times.

That's where the Addressable Asset system comes in.


Transparency edit note: Reworded the sentence about not using the Resources folder.

 

"Never" may be a bit strong.

 

Agreed, I reworded the line. Hope it's better now?
