🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since this is a simple tweak, just drop the file into your Data folder or use a mod manager — no complex setup needed.
Test your builds after installing to see how much overlap you can get away with; the tolerance increase is subtle but noticeable.
If you're using other ship-building mods, check their compatibility notes — this tweak might conflict with mods that alter the same settings.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community adoption (4,838 endorsements, 336k downloads) — clearly a must-have for ship builders
- Simple, focused tweak that does exactly what it says: more freedom in module placement
- Lightweight and likely compatible with most setups since it's a small gameplay adjustment
👎 Cons
- No detailed description or install instructions provided by the author
- Last updated in 2023 — may not be tested with the latest game patches
- Only affects overlap tolerance; if you want deeper ship-building overhauls, this won't add new parts or mechanics
