When working with ScriptableObjects in Unity, it’s easy to accidentally modify them at runtime—especially while in the Editor. This can mess up your base configuration and lead to some head-scratching bugs. �

Thankfully, Unity gives us a simple fix:
✅ Use Instantiate() to create a runtime copy of your ScriptableObject
✅ Keep the original asset untouched
✅ Safely manage runtime sets and gameplay-specific data

This trick is essential when using ScriptableObjects as part of a modular, data-driven architecture—especially in RTS-style games.
