[Genhis][2.0.47] Wire shadows are unaffected by surface shadow opacity.

Assembler wire shadows when shadow_opacity = 0.5(default)

At the moment, wire shadows have their opacity hardcoded to 0.5, when their opacity should follow the surface's shadow opacity variable. This, in addition to the prevalence of single-layer sprites with baked-in shadows, makes it difficult to change shadow opacity on planets without breaking immersion. Unlike the single-layer sprite issue, this wire shadow issue can not be fixed by a mod, which is why I'm reporting this as a bug.

Thanks for the report. I think shadow opacity property was only intended for the shadows shader which wires don't use because they render above entities. In any case, I changed it as you requested. Wire shadows are a bit darker, so their default opacity is 0.35 - I multiplied the given value by 0.7 to get the desired result.
