This mod is now obsolete. base game now basically has it

As of Signals update, this mod breaks armor block placement around subgrids.

THIS DOESN'T MAKE COMPOUND BLOCKS, THIS IS FOR SUBGRIDS

This mod modifies all blocks to have the "UseModelIntersection" tag in order to allow precision placement of blocks on a subgrid. This makes it so blocks uses its collision instead of bounding box to place blocks

What this mod does: adds the "UseModelIntersection=true" tag to all block definitions (including other mods) allow block placement using collisions instead of block space for inter-grid block placement

What this mod doesn't do: place blocks into the same block space in the same grid (ie; compound blocks) just to reiterate, this doesn't make it possible to place blocks of the same grid inside each other

LIMITATIONS: suspensions will still not place its wheel in a very tight space; this is because the add wheel function of suspensions uses a different way to detect if a block can be placed Vanilla armor blocks are unaffected because of its dynamic collision

NOTES: Special Thanks to Digi for basically handing me the script
