FILT should be moved into the electronics menu.
It's possible, just run this line (you can use autorun.lua):
elements.property(tpt.el.filt.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_ELEC)
Here's my suggestion about what to move:
METL (electronics) to Solids
TUNG (electronics) to Solids
INSL (electronics) to Solids
DMND (special) to Solids (Diamond is bascially a solid but I'm not sure if leave it in special since it's indestructible)
WHOL (special) to Force
BHOL (special) to Force
VACU (special) to Force
VENT (special) to Force
GRVT (radiocative) to Force
FILT (solids) to Electronics
PLSM (gases) to Explosives (the main use of plasma is ignite explosives, just like fire)
I created a lua script to change the categories of these elements. Here's the code if someone wants use it:
elements.property(tpt.el.plsm.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_EXPLOSIVE)
elements.property(tpt.el.metl.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_SOLIDS)
elements.property(tpt.el.tung.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_SOLIDS)
elements.property(tpt.el.insl.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_SOLIDS)
elements.property(tpt.el.dmnd.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_SOLIDS)
elements.property(tpt.el.whol.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_FORCE)
elements.property(tpt.el.bhol.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_FORCE)
elements.property(tpt.el.vacu.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_FORCE)
elements.property(tpt.el.vent.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_FORCE)
elements.property(tpt.el.grvt.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_FORCE)
elements.property(tpt.el.filt.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_ELEC)
I like the idea of unhide some elements, I downloaded a element dehider script. Here's the code
elements.property(tpt.el.lolz.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_SPECIAL)
elements.property(tpt.el.love.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_SPECIAL)
elements.property(tpt.el.eqve.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_POWDERS)
elements.property(tpt.el.bizs.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_SOLIDS)
elements.property(tpt.el.bizg.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_GAS)
elements.property(tpt.el.shd2.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_SOLIDS)
elements.property(tpt.el.shd3.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_SOLIDS)
elements.property(tpt.el.shd4.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_SOLIDS)
elements.property(tpt.el.psts.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_SOLIDS)
elements.property(tpt.el.tung.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_SOLIDS)
elements.property(tpt.el.metl.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_SOLIDS)
elements.property(tpt.el.dmnd.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_SOLIDS)
elements.property(tpt.el.mort.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_GAS)
elements.property(tpt.el.frzw.id, "MenuSection", elem.SC_LIQUID)
About the scrolable categrories I don't see any use for it.

Another thing to consider is scrolling menus. We don't want those very often.
