Ground Targeter

For all weapons, items, or abilities that can target the ground, this mod allows you to preferentially target the ground over other targets by holding down Left Shift. Essentially, it allows you to disable snapping to enemies.

Useful for dense, target-rich environments, like large raids or infestations, where targeting the ground underneath enemies with mortars/rockets/grenades/psycasts/etc is difficult.

1. Hold Left Shift to target only ground tiles when using a weapon/item/ability that can target the ground.

Note: If Left Shift is not pressed, the default targeting system (snap to nearby enemies) is used.

Update 11/26/2021: The ground targeting hotkey can now be changed in the Keyboard configuration in the Options menu.

This mod has the added advantage of allowing you to target ground tiles under large buildings that are not currently possible to target because of the default snap-to-center-of-target. For example, in the base game if you try to target a psychic droner (a 6 x 6 structure) with a mortar, you can only target the center of the building. With this mod, you can target any of the 36 ground tiles the building covers, giving you more control over shot placement.

Additionally, in the default Rimworld targeting system, if the tile you are targeting contains a building (like a wall) the game targets the building itself. If this building is destroyed, any force-targeted mortars/grenades will lose their target, stop firing at this location, and re-target elsewhere. If you instead target that tile using this mod (which targets the ground underneath the building and not the building itself), then any building on the tile that is destroyed won't cause the target to be lost and mortars/grenades will continue firing at it.
