'Biology' Tab in Elements Menu

    This isn't really an elements suggestion, but more a suggestion for the menu. It's a bit confusing that all the elements to do with living things (YEST, PLNT, VINE and VIRS) are scattered around different sections of the menu. I understand the logic behind it, but I think it would make more intiutive sense for them all to be together in one place.

     

    And there's already a precedent for this kind of thing, all the elements to do with radioactivity have been given their own menu tab, for example, even though they're a mix of solids, liquids and powders, and it makes a lot more sense having them all in one place. So yeah, I think it'd just make it a little easier and a little faster having all the biology related elements in one tab.

     

    Well, that's all, and wow it's nostalgic beng back here lol, this is the first internet forum or social media-style thing I ever went on, that was nearly a decade ago! Wow! Anyway, yeah, hope you like the suggestion.

    It seems weird to create a menu for 4 elements. If we had more biology elements, I would probably do this.

    Space is low right now. When you add on tptmp and the script manager, there is no more open space for any new menusections.

    I've made several biology elements before, and they're sorta as useless as the rest to be honest. Removing the search menu could work, seeing as there's a key for that already.

     Or he could've looked at my comment, which had that aswell, anyways, the search menu icon seems... Pointless, you can access it easily and clicking on a small thing is more tedious than pressing a single key on your keyboard, isnt it.
