Improve "At Cursor"

Future Game Microbe Stage
1

Something I notice a lot when playing is that it can sometimes be challenging to identify cells or floating chunks, since the only way to do so without pausing the game is to make a concerted effort to keep your mouse over the target, which can be more troublesome than it should be if your target is small and fast. Some ideas I had for improving this are as follows:

  1. Add coyote time to the at cursor menu to give more time to read what you’re looking at
  2. Add some way to select a target, identifying what it is and giving it an outline

It’s possible there’s a better way to tackle the issue, but if nothing else I’d like to start a conversation on the matter.

You can press space to pause the game, it freezes stuff to allow you to check what is where. This is one of the reasons pausing exists pretty sure.

How long would the Coyote time need to be for reading things?
Would highlighting a target also work?

I suppose you could highlight something by clicking it, which’d make it give you it’s info like if your cursor is hovering above it.
