Build Menu Organiser ― Missing Items
@Andre Aquila <Aquila Industrial> Sorry to bother you, but I'm having a problem with BMO. Buildables (both modded & vanilla) that I've unlocked late game are sometimes not showing up in BMO at all (they still show in the game's build menu, but nowhere in the /bm configuration interface ― I did double-check with BMO's search function). Is there a way of... force-refreshing the menu or something like that? (I've tried fully restarting the game ― as well as unloading the mod, entering the game, saving, exiting, and re-enabling the mod ― which just resets all my menu customisations, but still doesn't fix the missing items)
I have an unconfirmed suspicion about what's causing it ― I think the commonality with the items that aren't showing up is that the game is adding them to subcategories which BMO thinks no longer exist, ie: previously I've selected all the items of a particular subcategory and moved them to another parent category. Items I've unlocked later in the game then default to those original subcategory placements, but BMO isn't checking because it thinks those subcategories now exist elsewhere?
Log & modlist attached in case they're relevant.

Solution
SOLUTION:
1. Start from scratch. New game, fresh save. [It will only be a temporary working environment, you can return to your main save later.]
2. Use
!unlockall or AGS to make sure everything is available. 3. Open the build menu (
/bm in chat), make your first change. DO NOT make your second change yet: you will need to save and reload after every individual change that you make. Yes, everything. Change a name or number? Save and reload. Typo something and need to move it back? Save and reload.4. Do NOT exit the game in between, or at any other point until this guide tells you to.
5. At this point, you'll probably want to go and grab that bottle of whisky you've been saving. Put on Lord of the Rings in the background while you work through customising the Build Menu. Yup, all 3 movies. Extended Edition.
6. Once you think you're done making your changes, make a separate save. Do not overwrite this save.
7. Type
/copybm in chat. Once the confirmation message appears at the top of your screen, load into your main save. 8. Type
/pastebm in chat. Once the confirmation message appears, save, and reload.9. [While in your main save, open the build menu. Close the build menu. Save again. Probably unnecessary steps, but at this point, I'm doing voodoo dances in the background to keep this shit going, so the least you can do is open and close the fucking build menu.]
10. Exit the game. [If this is the last step that you're seeing, you probably wanna click through to the OP about now. haha, you thought this was over?]
