How to Save Objects that were added into the scene at runtime
So in most survival games, you can build and place walls, roofs and all that. Then you can save and close your game. And when you come back, your buildings are in the same place where you left them. How do I go about saving objects that were added in during runtime?
You'll need to write some system (or buy one from the asset store) that enables you to retrieve key data from your objects, such as position / health etc, and save them out in some format (XML, JSON etc).
I answered this very question, but phrased in a different way, a couple of days ago: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/1153260/how-do-i-save-the-game-state-as-a-new-scene-while.html#answer-1153381
