      So yes, we are also using this for the fog planes.

      The fog planes are like the

      Let's make it daylight.

      The fog planes are like the shadow planes that are in front of the inputs and outputs, so we can make it look like the items are going properly into the actor instead of just clipping into there.

      But the problem was the constructor was an example of really objects expensive because it had four fog planes, even though...

    2. Snutt

      It was just one.

    3. Ben

      Yeah, it was like four objects per constructor.

      You need to build a lot of constructors to be able to play the game, I guess.

      If you have 10 constructors, you have 40 objects that are just those planes.

      That is so ridiculous.

      So that's why these are also in the pool system.

      And it saves a lot of objects for a lot of people.

      So people should be able to build way, way more since update four.

    4. Snutt

      Cool.

      I believe you also mentioned this in the last video, actually, you made with Jace, where this was something that we were going to do in the future.

      And here we are in the future.

      The future is now.

    5. Ben

      That's the solution.

      Cool.
