    Despite googling I can't seem to locate an explanation for all the built-in layers:
    • What is their purpose? (water?!)
    • What happens if we misuse them, e.g. put UI objects in a layer that is not "UI"
    Would be great to have a definitive place for answers on this as I've seen a lot of I answered questions about these built-in layers. Thanks!
