In current Test Live patch notes they stated that only fence foundations are considered. As long as no fence foundation is overlapping with any other building object, there should be no trouble. Same goes for fence foundations only attached on the side of a foundation or between the gaps of two. For example, I tested a case having on live with wedged foundations runnung trough a Jhebbal Sag altar. This is no issue on Test Live, too.

Excuse me, I just want to understand: are you saying this will be illegal:
But THIS will still be legal ?

Yes, atleast this is what the notes says. It is still possible to have some fence foundations reach into other foundations but you can no longer excessively place them inside them nor can you cross fence foundations.

thanks you for the explaination @Ryu-Salazar
Was wondering about some of these things myself so I built a base on one of the official test servers before the patch was deployed. I stacked chests, placed them on crafting stations, put a vault on ceiling tiles and overlapped anything and everything that came to mind.
I also wrapped some square foundations with fence foundations and some others with walls, placed fence foundations through square foundations, placed some foundations at offset heights using a doorway plus fence foundation, offset some ceiling tiles so that they overlapped into each other and various other things.
When the patch hit the only thing that poofed were fence foundations that intersected each other in a + shape. Even on those the square foundations they were in didn’t poof. Only the fence foundations themselves. Nothing else was affected. That said there were a few things that should have poofed imo but didn’t so there may be more tweaking/patching to come.
Now I certainly didn’t try every possible combination and way of overlapping things and what worked today may not work tomorrow or after the next patch or may be different for different people for whatever reason. But as it stands now I feel pretty safe in saying that unless you have fence foundations, that are supporting other pieces, intersecting with each other then you should be fine.
As an aside, unless I somehow missed this before, as things are on test right now, fence foundations will attach to square foundations both at the same level and at a slightly lower offset. Meaning you can easily make very small stepdowns between square foundations. May not be intended, may be patched out but I can think of several interesting building ideas using this.
