...I fixed the pipe's hitbox, by the way. Actually, fun fact, it wasn't the pipe that was the issue. The game was checking if the *mouse* was inside the tray. But since the pipe's long and tall, people kept MISSing by aiming "too high". So I added a secondary check. No more unfair pipes 😅

Extracting a notorious pipe in Episode 1-1 of Cutting Edge: Roots Of Mutation. Many players would try to place it in the rightmost tray, only to incur a "MISS", as the game didn't consider it in the tray even though the pipe looked like it would be in it.
