Natural Clipping is a glitch where the player can walk through various walls in the game due to no collision planes being programmed into them. Natural Clipping is not exactly a glitch since the game is still behaving as intended, rather it is the result of oversights by the developers.

Mechanics

Although further testing is required, it appears that any instance of a particular part of a wall that is lacking collision in one cell will also be lacking collision in other cells that use that same wall. This may be due to the developers copy/pasting assets from test cells.

Known Locations

Natural Clipping simply requires the player to run into the walls listed below, so no instructions have been included for how to "perform" this glitch. All locations listed below should work on every version of the game, although each one has not been checked thoroughly yet.
