you can use it if you want if you don't like clipping you can just not do it if you don't want you get the error message as well if you want to play that way that's up to you you know walls as well are now soft clearance so you can build those into um you know overlapping if if you wish uh up to you um yeah so that's how that works i have another demonstration though let's let's take you to another thing that you can do with it

Okay, so here is another demonstration of hard and soft clearance, allowing you to build and play how you wanna play.

This is a beautiful little monstrosity that I've created.

Unveiling it in three, two, one.

Oh, look at that.

Isn't that beautiful?

The conveyor belts look like they're like a bow constrictor constricting the particle accelerator.

So you can see here that these, the conveyor belts here, you know, they're going through this, the loop of the particle accelerator.

I've got belts, I've got walls in between here.

And, you know, like, so in this case here, like there's not really any clipping per se.

You know, like, it's not clipping the models.

You know, I can build a conveyor belt and a conveyor pole on top of the particle accelerator if I want.

You know, I can just build how I want.

So I'm not actually clipping here, but I am clipping...

I am clipping soft clearance with the hard clearance.

But the game just lets me build that now.

So, you know, I can just... Yeah, I can just build walls if I want.

I can clip in if I want.

Whatever, right?

But...

Demonstrate hard clearance.

Again, like there's empty space here, right?

But that is technically still part of the hard clearance of the particle accelerator.

So I can't build a constructor in there, right?

Can't actually do that.

You need to build it outside.

That issue of the hard clearance becomes even more apparent with the cold generator, which is notorious for this.

So the cold generator's clearance, you know, it's like a box, right?

It goes from the bottom all the way to the top.

And this entire empty space here is also part of the clearance of the cold generator.

Previously, you couldn't build any foundations over that space, but you can now.

You get the overlapping soft clearance warning message, but you can do that now.

But of course, you cannot build a constructor there because that is still overlapping.

That's encroaching other's clearance.

That is overlapping the clearance of the coal generator.

You have to build it outside of that clearance.

So that is how, that's basically a good demonstration of how hard and soft clearance works.

I hope that makes sense.

I hope that was clear.

And I hope that's sort of exciting because, you know, like, I mean, this looks like this is ugly, but I'm sure a lot of people can get away with doing some really, really beautiful stuff now with this new change to the clearance.
