Testing things out with DOTS, how do I create a terrain in a subscene the correct way?

[lavish rampart]

When I create a new terrain under a subscene, the terrain does not appear in play mode or when I uncheck (close) the subscene. Under Entities Hierarchy, a simple Entity is shown, but nothing visible is displayed in the viewscreen. Is there a proper way that I am missing?

Terrain is not supported in entities atm

Unity is meant to be working on a new terrain package which will be available hopefully sooner than later, but no official word on an date etc yet

For now a few users have written their own baking solutions for terrain

Check out this thread https://forum.unity.com/threads/using-unity-terrain-with-dots-workflow.755105/page-2#post-8711097

Which basically just convert terrain to mesh

Doh! Ok thanks.

Can confirm, still using that solution. Render in GO world, collider in entities.

thought I'd follow up with this question, if anyone can give a nice ballpark answer: when can we anticipate the DOTS version of the Terrain package?

@zard are you using any packaged helper that creates colliders, etc? I'm using this temporarily but I'm always looking for better solution: https://github.com/bustedbunny/EntitiesNavMeshBuilder

Nono, nothing really. Here's the full thing I use: https://gist.github.com/bernatgy/be96366a3df4ab349190c292b3c588ed it's just cut together from that forum thread. I'll actually edit my post there and include it for folks.
