Many items and structures can't be deployed as close as they used to be

This mostly applies to cases when stuff with smaller spacing coexists with stuff with bigger spacing. For example, it used to be possible to fill gaps between large (2.0 spacing) plants such as stone fruit bushes, bananas, berry bushes with small (1.0 spacing) plants such as twigs, grass, spiky bushes and monkeytails. This is not the case anymore.

Chests despite their small spacing can't be built close to most stuff anymore.

Worst case at the moment for me is apparent inability to build ice and salt boxes between crock pots which is very critical. Previously it was possible to build 4 crock pots in a square and place 5 iceboxes in a cross shape between them, reaching all crock pots from any of iceboxes. This setup is completely impossible right now, and it's even impossible to build a single icebox between two crock pots if these weren't placed at least 4 units away from each other.

I believe this wasn't an intended change since the idea of changing how spacing works was to loose up building restrictions, not to tighten them.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Build a large structure / plant a large plant.

2. Try to build another smaller structure / smaller plant as close as it used to be possible before latest major update.

3. See that it is now impossible to do so.
