I made an in-ground lamp with the collision_mask = { "item-layer", "object-layer", "water-tile" } so that players and vehicles don't collide with it. Unfortunately, it's giving me this graphical bug:
I searched around and found out it was a render layer issue but setting it to something lower doesn't do anything so I'm guessing lamps have the render_layer hardcoded. Is there an easy way around this?

I think that the layers={{shift= {x,y}} changes the layer. If Y is 0, it is on the ground, and if it is positive, it should be under the ground.

Nope, that's shift on west-east and north-south directions.

@op
There are such fields as render_layer and priority in drawing related parts of the prototype definitions though I know nothing about their works. You might be the first to figure out, how to use those.

Add this to the prototype. You can find the different render layers here

I've definitively noticed a change of layering of the sprites when I changed the shift values. When I made the Y shift less than the player, the player walks over the object. When the Y value is very high, it overshadows trees, assemblers, etc.

Edit: There's something going around inside the game engine that automatically assigns layers based on render_layer and shift...

Have you found a solution? I have a similar problem for a building. viewtopic.php?f=25&t=38974
