Description:

• Customize the order of all plobable buildings, networks, trees, props, and even transport lines tools in the UI.
• Mix and match vanilla and custom assets together.
• Hide unwanted icons you can’t prefab skip with the Loading Screen Mod.
• Export default settings to form the basis of your own custom config. (NEW!)

• Besides the new export feature, You can also look at this example config to get started.[github.com]
• Also check out this file to learn the panel names needed for hiding icons.[github.com] More info about configuration can be found in the above two links.

• This mod works by dynamicaly altering the UIPriority value of asset prefabs, which is responsible for asset ordering in the UI.
• It also patches a few vanilla methods to allow for sorting custom assets interchangably with vanilla ones, and the ability to hide icons.

• Keep in mind that each asset will use a single priority value, even if it appears multiple times.
• Hiding all assets in a panel will result in an empty panel, and sometimes using the vanilla filter buttons can leave you with an empty panel if the only assets that are categoried under that filter are hidden.
• Hidden assets are still loaded in the game, and you can still load saves with assets that you’ve decided to hide. They’re just hidden from the UI.
• You can even still access them from the Find It mod, except for transport line tools like the blimp line, since they’re not really assets in the traditional sense.

• There is an issue when using the picker mod, where that mod will select the wrong item.
• Other than that I’m not familiar with any issues.
