Mod «Door Clearance» for Rimworld (v1.4)

A lightweight mod which adds an extra validation rule when items are placed on the ground - they will now consider door/gate tiles as invalid. The goal here is to prevent sensitive doors from being stuck open due to items suddenly being placed, such as those caused by butchering, milking animals, or stripping prisoners.

Q. Isn't this just DontBlockDoor? What's the difference?
A. Yes, the two mods set out to accomplish the same thing. As a fan of that mod myself, I had set out to suggest to its author some ideas to reduce its performance impact. However, upon closer review of the code, it was my opinion that an entirely different technical approach was in order, built from the ground up.

This version here aims to accomplish the same goal with only a single patch, transpiling a method that is only seldomly called to minimize the harmony overhead.

• This does not touch your save file and can be added or removed any time.
• Should be compatible with any door-adding mod.

Requires: Harmony

- Fixes the NRE that various people have been reporting on. Thanks Sn1p3rr3c0n for tracking it down (was caused by malformed XML in other mods, which is why it only affected a few people depending on modlist).
