When loading a 3k mass ship in a shipyard (that was built in said shipyard), I get the error "Removing Design because it overlaps with Structure"
I know it doesnt.
Another 3k mass design fails too, but if I repeat the process 4-5 times it loads. On this design though, it fails over and over. The problematic design is essentially a single big turret (ie. it has large docked entities). As thats the main difference between the two designs, I wonder if thats causing the error...
This is an issue related to have docks on your design. Ship size does not matter as this even occurs on the smallest of examples.
If you deconstruct or unload a design of a ship that has docks on it, not everything of that ship gets wiped properly after it is finished deconstructing. I believe the shipyard will still think the docks are there, giving a false positive for designs you're trying to load that have their own docks overlapping with them.
It should load the design still most of the time, but you will often fail first and then succeed on the 2nd attempt. I'm not sure if that's because a failure to load wipes the bad stuff already, or that it is just a coincidence of my test setup. Should be absolutely fine if you try to load a design that has no docks at all though.
The issue itself can be worked around by unloading/loading the sector again.
You can also construct/deconstruct a tiny ship without docks to wipe the old data and reset it back to a normal state. Loading/unloading the design multiple times should work too but might depend on ship size and dock count.

Apparently there is no existing task of this issue. It's one of the older shipyard issues most likely going back to its dev builds.
There's some issue with loading/unloading designs where the game still thinks an older design is loaded, thus "overlaps with structure" as it is part of the shipyard.
Usually waiting a minute or so after unloading the last ship to load a new design should do the trick. Will have to look into it again to get a reliable way to reproduce.
