How to make foliage-placed meshes singular instances?

Hello everyone, I have a question. I’m making a game where the player is able to interact with trees and stuff so I used foliage to place my trees but I don’t want to select all of them at the same time.

I would like the player to be able modify trees individually so I wish to make them single instances.

How do I do that with foliage meshes? and if it is not possible, is placing trees one by one with Ctrl + D is the same performance-wise as placing them using foliage?

Probably not but one can hope haha! Anyway, thank you guys in advance!

You can still place them as foliage, and get the instance number later on.

I’m not at a machine rn, but I recall that you can do a line trace to the instance, and get it’s instance number, then delete it and replace it with an interactive object.
