Fix: Godot Physics Body Collision Layer Bitmask Out of Range Warning

Custom layer 'projectiles' assigned bit 33; warning floods console.

Use bits 1-32

Project Settings > Layer Names. Map names to bits 1-32.

Or use multiple bodies

If you need >32 layers, split into multiple physics worlds. Heavier; flexible.

Audit layer assignments

Each layer's bit. Above 32 = bug source.

“Collision layers are 32-bit. The limit is hardware.”

If you have many layer types, audit the assignment. Reuse where possible; split worlds only for genuine independence.
