Here we have some reference data, mostly pertaining to submarine building.

Sprite Depth

Default Sprite Depths

Sprite Depth	Thing
0.010	Turrets and periscope
0.060	submarine shells
0.100	Duct Block, Chairs
0.180	Eggs
0.200	Mucus Balls, Chitin
0.500	Characters, Fire, (and other particle effects?)
0.509	Hatches
0.510	Ladders, Doors
0.540	Crates
0.550	Most holdable items and weapon projectiles
0.600	Medicine, Most Gear aside from suits
0.610	Ladder steps
0.700	Hatch background, Pet Food
0.750	Planter Boxes
0.780	Gravity Sphere Base
0.800	Most installations, Ballast Flora, Wiring Components
0.840	Cabinets, Gravity Sphere Sphere
0.850	Cable Holders, Bunks
0.855	Wires
0.890	Door background
0.910	Vents
0.970	Background Wall/decorations

Additionally, some items have a span of depths. All items with animated parts will have at least 2 layers.

Items with depth spans

Main Depth	Range	Item	Description
0.510	0.610	Ladder	Steps
0.509	0.700	Hatch	Hatch background
0.780	0.840	Gravity Sphere	Base is closer
0.800	0.840	Fabricator, Deconstructor	various decorative bits
0.800	0.860	Oxygen Generator (not shuttle/outpost)	tubes
0.510	0.890	Doors	Door background
0.910	0.920	Vent	fan
0.950	0.990	Mineral, Seeds, and Small, Medium, and Large weapon display shelves	Light, Glass, Contents, Textures at 0.01 intervals
0.980	0.960	Office windows	Window Border

Notes

• Characters using installations (beds, ladders, chairs) will go slightly behind the depth of the furniture (Exception: Periscopes?)
• items and installations have a max depth of 0.900 (bug?)
• I tend to use depths around 0.801 - 0.849 for decoration that is to show in front of wires and 0.856 - 0.899 for behind-wires/background items.
• Moving shells behind 0.500 will result in the damage mask not being displayed - i.e., there will be no visual damage to the shells.
• this list isn't necessarily 100% complete
• This list is accurate to the best of my knowledge

Console stuff

Unordered list of questionable Console Commands.

Main command	Parameter 1	Parameter 2	Notes
setentityproperties	Indestructible	true / false	sets the item as invincible, won't take damage when hit etc
setentityproperties	maxhealth	Infinity / -Infinity / NaN	Infinity results in empty health bar When inside: -Infinity and 0 doesn't take damage, has no collision, no LOS blocking. NaN sets the wall to leak water heavily, has full collision. When outside: -Infinity, 0, NaN have collision 0 may visually very weird (damage mask?)

Useful Pages

• Walls a page detailing each wall by name + its HP. TL;DR: bow-stern: 400, external shells: 200, shuttle/glass: 50, interior: 75. These are only the default HPs, it can be changed (See "Diving deeper into the sub editor")
• Autofill Tags autofill generates items in containers so you don't have to! Useful for giving ships some minor randomization, as well as for wrecks. And slightly future proofs for new items.
• Undertow discord (link should be on sidebar and main page of wiki)
• The official submarine editor guide
