    Hey, everybody. Do I understand correctly that constants are written directly into the code when creating Build? And they are optimized as much as possible? So, if I call a constant in each frame from another class:

    public static class Constants {
    

    
 public const ID = 6;
    

    
}
    
void Update() {
    

    
int value = Constants.ID;
    

    
}


    the load is minimal?

    Yes, you understand correctly. It would be the same as writing:
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. int value = 6;
    3.

    In Unity, while in play mode, you may press Ctrl+7 (or Cmd+7 on Mac) and bring up the profiler window, it will show you slowest parts of your code to optimize. Also you may add Profiler.BeginSample() / EndSample calls to your code to add measurements to that window.
