Simulation Layers and Object Identity

What it covers

• Kinematic layer
• ECS bubble
• Object identity
• Promotion and demotion
• Spawn queue

Overview

Return Echo uses more than one simulation layer. Distant objects can run in a cheaper kinematic form, while nearby objects enter detailed ECS simulation. ObjectId keeps them connected.

Why it matters

The game can have both scale and detail. A ship remains the same ship even when its representation changes.
