Seems abandoned and we needed it for a MP game, so I reuploaded it.

This small mod slightly reduces the collision boxes for many structures, allowing you to "squeak through" them while walking around your base.
Say goodbye to the frustration of having your path blocked by your steam engines or solar panels when walking around your base!

New in version 1.4.0 is that Squeak Through will now look for the entity prototype value "squeak_behaviour", which if set to false will mean the entity is excluded from having its bounding box adjusted. For more information, see: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=461453#p461453
