Sick and tired of having to find a large open space for your gravship and just want to input "yolo" into the guidance system? Want to smash your reinforced hull directly into a hostile building so your auto-cannons can open up at point blank range while you yell "SUPRISE!"? How about disabling the annoying safety lockout that prevents you from landing on an angry guy with a spear? Sad because you can't turn your gravship into an instant mountain base?
Now you can.
This mod lets you throw away the safety guidelines and land on top of whatever you want. Walls? Roofs? Buildings? Hostiles? Friendlies? That really Important thing you shouldn't land on because you need to keep it intact for a quest?

By default anything on your gravship will take damage if it is placed on top of something, up to 50% of its max health. This can be adjusted or changed to a flat 25 to 35 damage, the same as the "minor gravship crash" negative outcome.
Bonus Features
Land your shuttle anywhere that is valid to build it
This mod started when I couldn't land my shuttle because of decorative markings and underground pipes, because the default shuttle code only allows it to land on top of powerlines. That original goal is an option in the mod, and everything else is scope creep. This is done by replacing the "is empty or only powerlines" check with the same placeworker used when you build a shuttle.
Unblock-able engines.
Needed if you embed your ship in a mountain, or just build your engines in the rec-room for easy maintenance access. Also eliminates the pain of not being able to launch because your idiot colonists built a roof over your enclosed thruster zone.
Options

Decide what you should and shouldn't be able to land on, clear out everything within two tiles of your ship, adjust or remove the damage inflicted, enable optional features. Mouse-over options for more details. (in game, not in this mod description!)
What about landing on any world tile?
Use the mod [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3547652788]Land Ship On Any Tile[/url] and you'll be able to choose any world tile to land on, even if a quest has it flagged as "don't let the player land here."
FAQ

Yes, this mod can be added/removed.
[b]I landed on the important thing that I flew here to interact with and now this map is useless![/b]
