# PrefabSystem

**DOTSNET** comes with its own system to spawn prefabs across the network.

The `PrefabSystem` can be found in both the `ServerWorld` and the `ClientWorld`.

### Scene Prefabs

Networked Entities like Monsters can be added to the Scene:

The `PrefabSystem` will convert them all to prefabs when starting.

### Regular Prefabs

Regular prefabs that live in the Project Area:

Need to be dragged into the `PrefabSystem`’s Prefabs list manually in order to spawn them over the network. You can find the `PrefabSystem` in the Hierarchy:

It has a `PrefabSystemAuthoring` component with the Prefabs list where you can drag your prefabs into:
