Usage:
- Open the console using the tilde (~) key
- To increase the tolerance run "bat toleranceBig", or "bat toleranceHuge" (Huge basically disables any overlapping checks, letting you build some cursed things)

- The changes will be permanent (You only have to run it once, even when leaving the game), and don't require manually editing the .ini file

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ 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
- 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
For Starfield players who love ship-building and want to push the limits of module placement without fighting the game's strict collision rules. If you're into creative or compact ship designs, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you're looking for new ship parts or major gameplay changes — this is a pure QoL tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- 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.
