Fire At Will Gizmo - Evolving Retexture

Finally, a dynamic Fire at Will Icon

Ever felt like the default "Fire at Will" toggle icon didn't quite fit your tribal playthrough or end-game archotech super-colony?

This mod dynamically changes the Fire at Will gizmo icon based on your faction's current tech level.

Whether you're shooting arrows in the Neolithic era or wielding charge rifles in the Spacer age, the "Fire at Will" gizmo will match your colony's technological progression.

Features

• Tech-Level Adaptive Icons: Unique textures for Animal, Neolithic, Medieval, Industrial, Spacer, Ultra, and Archotech tech levels.

• Designed for Progression: Works seamlessly with mods that allow your faction tech level to advance over time (such as Node Research or Tech Advancing).

• Safe Mid-Save Addition/Removal: Can be safely added or removed from existing save files at any point without issues.

• Zero TPS Impact: Tech level checks run only once per in-game day (60,000 ticks). Several small additional checks run when starting a new scenario, loading a saved game, or returning to the main menu.

Despite being a minimalistic set of retextures, this mod requires a tiny Harmony patch to swap the gizmo icon texture, because it is hardcoded (so no XML/Def pathways).

Attempting to swap the texture back-and-forth by interacting with 'TexCommand' doesn't work, because it's read-only; once it is swapped at runtime, it is stuck on the same texture.

		var harmony = new Harmony("zohryu.fireatwillretexture");

		harmony.Patch(
			AccessTools.Method(typeof(Command), nameof(Command.GroupsWith)),
			prefix: new HarmonyMethod(typeof(FireAtWillIconPatch), nameof(GroupsWith_Prefix))
		);

		harmony.Patch(
			AccessTools.Method(typeof(Command), "DrawIcon"),
			prefix: new HarmonyMethod(typeof(FireAtWillIconPatch), nameof(DrawIcon_Prefix))
		);
