Talk:Placement Layers/@comment-6301973-20140519002329

I would like to take a moment to explain why I created this page. The original idea was created when i was wondering about all the things going on with creating mods and how to take advantage of existing mechanics. to do that i needed to investigate. I didn't know much about the "layers" of objects and where they were. and i was thinking about making a mod around the idea of worms. where are worms on the layers? they are in front of walls, but behind furniture. yet they interact with the character. then there are ghosts. are they on top of everything? turns out, they don't have a layer, they are just set to no-clip. then where are bosses? same as worms? are they no-clip?

anyway, things started to get complicated. so i was hoping that maybe if i started a page with some info on it then others would jump in and help me sort out all the details. maybe everyone would learn a few things. but then some people had a negative reaction and are delete happy. so i gave up. then i saw that this page had been edited. so i jumped back on. not quite what i had in mind, but i think that the goal of the page remains. a place where "layers" of Terraria are laid out. They are a real thing in the game. A mechanic. Being an integral part, it should be documented on any wiki pertaining to Terraria, as any other facet of any other game for its respective wiki.

So that is my soap box. I will get back to work on this page. I think I just need to start from a simpler point rather than trying to outline every possible detail.
