How to clip generators or buildings in general closely into each other
Fairly new to the game, loving it so far! While experimenting with blueprints I came across this blueprint for a very compact 24 fuel generator powerhouse, in this bp I love what they did with the clipping, however I cant seem to replicate it. I know I can just use the bp, but I would like to know how to do this for future projects or if it is even possible by normal/vanilla means. Thanks in advance!

Some BP's arent made using vanilla tools, the game wont allow certain placements but certain mods can still allow it, and then it can still be saved into a BP
you can still use the BP - even if it was created with modded tools, the game doesnt care when it goes to place the BP.
but it was definitely created with modded tools, either Soft Clearance For Everything and/or Micro Manage
If I wanted to make a BP of that style, what mod would you recommend to make it as bug free as possible?
either Soft Clearance For Everything and/or Micro Managethere is also some ability (it doesnt work every time) to use smaller blueprints - the "blueprint object" itself ignores a lot of hard clearances, meaning you can h ave a blueprint of a single object, place it in the BPD with another of that object, and even though they may have hard clearnce, you can still clip them together. Save and repeat until the desired size - it doesnt work with everything, but it works with a lot.
And the mod s are the ones i mentioned :
