is there any way to make a prototype ignored by inserters?
(except making collision size 0x0, because it messes up the heat pipes)

You can wait for 0.17 and then use the entity prototype flag that prevents inserters from interacting with your entity.

Does that also work on type = "item-entity" btw? Becaues currently contrary to other things they can still be picked up even if they have no collision box. So there seems to be some special treatment?

It should work, the prototype flag is checked before the special treatment is applied.

Thanks. Good to know :).
