There are plenty of videos on pathfinding in Unity, but there aren't many videos that talk about using methods other than Navmeshes. I might make some future videos breaking down the steps that go into the flowfield generation itself.

These are the sources I used for guidance:

What are flowfields:

How to implement them:
