Construction Menu

The construction menu consists of different menus accessible in the main game bar at the bottom of the screen. Each of the menus provides different menu categories, shown as tabs. All content may reference one or more of these menu categories to appear there.

...
menuCategory = {
  categories = {
    {
      category = "rail_buildings",
      filterCategories = {"building"},
      order = 5000,
    },
  },
},
... 

To reference the correct tabs in the construction menu, the menuCategory.categories list can contain one or more entries, each with:

• the reference to a category by the defined tag of the category itself.
• an optional list of filterCategories with their individual tags.
• an optional order entry used to enforce the order in the construction menu.
