Detailed Description

NSEntity is the lowest of the user-accessible entity class.

It's responsible for handling practically every entity in Nuclide.

Try to avoid using the built-in 'entity' type unless you know exactly what you are doing. Otherwise, you will deal with loss of savegames and much more.
