The buttons that appear along the bottom edge of the screen with context-specific commands, such as the draft and combat commands that appear when a colonist is selected, are known as Gizmos.

Equipment Gizmo

RimWorld's default attack Gizmo works as normal under most circumstances. Pressing this button will, if the pawn has a ranged weapon, switch their current ranged verb to match the first Primary verb defined on the weapon's ThingDef.

Verb Gizmo

The new Ranged Verb Gizmo is only visible if there are multiple ranged verbs available to choose from, or the ranged verb is not from a peice of equipment. It displays the equipment source, or projectile of the current verb. Clicking on this verb will create a float menu that displays the available verbs for selection. It also allows you to set a forced target with the currently selected ranged verb in exactly the same way as RimWorld's default attack Gizmo.

Squad Attack Gizmo (RimWorld)

RimWorld's default squad attack gizmo works as normal under most circumstances. It is relabeled to 'Attack with Equipment' if other verb sources are available. Pressing this button will set the current verb for all selected pawns that have ranged weapon and who's current verb is not already from their equipment, to match the first Primary verb defined on the weapon's ThingDef.

Squad Attack Gizmo (New)

This new Gizmo only appears if one of the selected pawns is using a verb from a source other than their equipped weapon. It allows the selection of a target, in the same way as RimWorld's Squad AttackGizmo, but maintains their current verb.
