Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

Move Rust game monsters, items, loot, effects, spawn weights, level gates, and balance numbers into validated data files using Serde-friendly schemas. Use when replacing hard-coded spawn functions, adding RON or JSON content templates, or making game content editable without recompiling.

Rust Data Driven Game Content

Use this skill to move game content out of Rust code and into validated data files. Keep schemas small, explicit, and aligned with components the game can actually spawn.

Core Workflow

Identify repeated hard-coded spawn data.
Design a Serde-friendly schema for entities, effects, spawn levels, and weights.
Load data at startup or level generation with clear errors.
Convert templates into component bundles through one spawn boundary.
Add validation for missing fields, impossible levels, invalid effects, and empty spawn tables.
Keep balance changes in data and behavior changes in Rust systems.

Source Notes

Guidance is transformed and paraphrased from Hands-On Rust Chapters 13, 14, and 15 and from the official companion source repository. Current crate context was checked against Serde and RON docs. Verify the target project's chosen data format and dependency versions before editing.
