@Kurdain I just slapped a mod together that removes deck gun collision, its just called No Deck Gun Collision

Whilst the mod enabling deck to shoot above each other is gone, you can enable them to do this yourself.
in the local files of the game:
Cosmoteer>Data>ships>terran>cannon_deck
You will find the file cannon_deck.rules, open this with the windows editor.
In this file almost halfway down there is a segment:

TurretCollider
{
Type = CircleCollider
Location = &../Turret/Location
Radius = 1.5
IsHigh = true
}

the important bit is the IsHigh = true
change it to false to have it look like this:

TurretCollider
{
Type = CircleCollider
Location = &../Turret/Location
Radius = 1.5
IsHigh = false
}
save the file (maybe create a backup of it first), load the game and have fun

i have no experience creating mods and this is the result of me poking in the files, as i do with Vintage Story, and i can't guarante that this wont mess with other mods, or the multiplayer, or something else, thus use this information at your own risk, i hope this helps

Had a mod recently that allowed deck guns to shoot over each other, however in the last few days it seems to have vanished and I cannot locate it in the workshop. I am not good at modding, any chance you could add the functionality and/or create a new mod that allows this?

Thanks.

Update for version 0.23.3b. No actual changes where needed, just the CompatibleGameVersions change.

This mod still works.

Consider adding code to allow deck guns to shoot through each other?

Reduces the Deck Cannon stun range so they do not affect that cannons loaders. Crew in front of the cannon will still be affected.
减少甲板炮的眩晕范围，使其不会影响大炮装载机。大炮前面的船员仍将受到影响。
The range of the Deck Cannon has also been increased to 400 making inacurate shelling a viable tactic.
甲板炮的射程也增加到了400米，使得不精确炮击成为一种可行的战术。
