I have a building and mining system, where players can create worlds and things. That works fine, but I want it to save so players can come back and continue on the world. I know how to save values with datastore, but how would I save objects like this?

How would I save blocks with datastore?
1 answer
I would usually say to create a "model-to-script" script, however with datastore limit concerns I suggest JSONEncode and JSONDecode to turn a table into a string. Don't actually put the object in the table, instead put a number or code that you can code a function to recognize and replicate the object from that.

data store convert tables to JSON for you. No need to do it yourself

Save a table with multiple values that you can use. Save all the parts and their positions into that table and when loading it just load the same parts and positions..
The only way to do that is turn the objects into data, like a string or numbers in table, and then turn them back into objects when you load the data. Edit: ffejyos beat me to it
oh
You probably need a serializer/deserializer if you worry about datastore limits.
