The UnityEditor.dll is not available for you at runtime when you build and run your game. Your custom dll seems to be referencing it so it errors out cause it's not finding it. You could use conditional compilation and wrap any usage of editor codes with #if UNITY_EDITOR ex:

 #if UNITY_EDITOR
 using UnityEditor;
 #endif
 
 // ... somewhere else
 #if UNITY_EDITOR
 // some editor codes...
 #endif

But is it possible to include it in build

I've also wondered about that, but if you think about it, it doesn't make sense. There's no 'unity editor' in your game... Even if you manage to add it in build somehow, you might crash using it.

What is it anyway in the editor dll that you want in your game that much? - is it something maybe you could implement? - if not, is it maybe something you could grab from the dll after decompiling it? (assu$$anonymous$$g it doesn't have much dependencies on other editor code)

Its boolean operator that allows me to cut holes in meshes, witch is kinda important in my prison escape game

Where is it located within the editor dll?
