The Grouped Buildings Mod groups similar buildings into a dropdown menu, reducing clutter in their respective tabs.
NOTICE
Thanks to Cedaro, the Grouped Buildings Mod now uses a lightweight and visually appealing solution for stuffable grouped buildings, requiring Float Sub-Menus, which is now a hard requirement. This also means that RIMMSqol is no longer required for stuffable buildings, though it remains compatible.
Additionally, if XML Extensions is installed, most patches become toggleable, allowing you to customize settings. All patches are enabled by default. To access these settings, click the small plus button next to the vanilla mod options button. Note that any changes require a restart or a Dev action: [Hot reload Defs] to apply.
*Note: Small mods that add only one or two items usually do not include toggleable options.*

Compatibility notes
If you are using RIMMSqol and Replace Stuff, ensure that Mod Settings > QOL > General Settings > Reapply on Game Load is enabled. This is on by default.
If Float Sub-Menus is not enabled, stuffable buildings will still be grouped, but you will not be able to choose the material. The default material (usually wood or steel) will be used in that case.
