COMMON QUESTIONS.
For setup or customisation issues, use Discord support.
Request a free fit check ↗Is this URP only?
Yes. The current store listing marks Built-in and HDRP as incompatible.
Can I use a demo setup as a prefab?
Yes. The supplied manual supports dragging a water prefab from a demo scene and copying water settings between objects.
Does every feature work with Tilemap mode?
No. The manual excludes blur post-processing, perspective reflections, surface waves and the surface-sprite overlay from Tilemap mode.
