The guidebook needs to have its items and blocks section separated.

I wish it had a section just for blocks, because unlike other games like terraria, vintage story is bloated on random useless crap items, and not blocks, and blocks are the smaller group by far, and i'd like to scroll just those, the things i can put on the ground.

 

Maybe have sub sections where you can select not quite full blocks, like stairs and fences and stuff, and another sub section for decorations like the clutter from ruins you can glue back together

If I'm understanding properly, there used to be something like that, Survival Categories or something like that, let you filter all kinds of ways, but it was a hassle to keep updated. I can see how that could be useful for Creative, for sure. For Survival, I don't know what purpose it would serve, because it's mostly the other way around. What can I do with what I have?

Thats kinda the thing. I was trying to envision my first house that i ever built in vintage story, and i didnt know the blocks in this game besides the standard clay brick block, and i pushed the tab on the left and got swamped with a bunch of stuff that absolutely should not be mixed into the same category, because the category becomes completely pointless if it contains literally everything in the game.

 

I just wanted to look at pretty blocks to build with.

 

The wiki page on blocks was really helpful, but frankly that should be put into the guidebook as a guide section, wholesale. Also, i found that page after i made this post.
