What Is This?

This mod is mainly intended for use on Vanilla+ servers like mine where I want to reduce build anywhere abuse.

The config here only applies to BaseBuilding stuff if "disableIsBaseViableCheck" is true in vanilla cfggameplay.json for build anywhere.

The main issue when enabling Build Anywhere using this method is "disableIsBaseViableCheck = true" makes the game ignore bounding boxes, allowing placing objects literally inside themselves.

Enabling this is the only way to allow double-stacked high fences for anti-boost etc, but a major side-effect is players can abuse it to place tents inside of tents and walls inside of walls and whatnot to create extremely unrealistic bases which are unreasonably hard to raid and/or increase the negative impact of base loot lag on server-performance in extreme cases.

This mod is an effort to mitigate that problem to reduce the need for server admins to police basebuilding so actively and personally inspect everything quite as often.

It also includes some basic no-build-zone restriction config.
