In terms of "cheat free" for getting badges, do part clipping and infinite build area count?

If a badge requires no cheats to be active do I still need to worry about the 2 cheats I mentioned before? We all know they don't affect gameplay.

Part clipping is ok but IDK about the build area

UN Cosmo Navy is right, part clipping is tolerated, especially for players that don't own the DLC, but Infinite build area is not allowed, this would allow you to build a bigger launcher than what you're normally allowed.

What if I used that launcher for my Moon mission? ...

It wouldn't make it to orbit

at least not without cheats

Of course it would!

I made a few entries in the kiloton club with it. There's also a variant that can send 1 kton to LEO in realistic.

However it's true that it needs "no heat damage" now, engines generated no heat at the time of making.

But the Game version I believe is still in 1.5.1

How did this beast of a rocket appear in a question about cheats?

Just to illustrate what infinite build area allowed to build and why it's considered a cheat

 

[Popmie]

how did all the engines not burn the rocket? i tried recreating it and it blows up upon launch

It does for me too. That's what I explained here:

No problem.
What I meant still stands though, if you're allowed to use infinite build area in challenges, then you can just make ridiculously overpowered launchers for practically every mission, like this for example:

Yes, but there are still ways to build outside of the main box. Such as using the move buttons on bp eddied parts. (They don’t switch up and down, they just move up). Even if, it’s still not allowed; Although it is still possible…

It is possible for non-dlc players to also make big rockets outside the build area as people like Sus engine(Youtuber for some of his other things but makes non-dlc bps like the Saturn IB and V) and I use. Changing the "Offset" at the bottom of the bp is godsend.

I think that this would be considered an exploit, i might have seen a judge say something about this before

Yes it is a exploit, but when it comes to realistic building rockets for the copycat badge, it's godsend
