Combine dlc block types with their non dlc counterparts - especially the thrusters

When different variants of an existing block are added to the game they are often put into a new group rather than the already existing group.

Take thrusters as an example, if you want an atmospheric thruster do you want the base game thrusters or the sci-fi thrusters? (personally I just want the atmospheric thrusters).

The same is true of the other thruster types and many other blocks.


Examples that come to mind of other blocks that could be combined into a single group:

Thrusters

Wheels

Conveyor's & Conveyor Pipes

Decoration Blocks (Couches, beds etc.)

Windows (why not just 3 groups: flat windows, angled windows, and curved windows)

Screens

Generators (power, hydrogen etc.)

Production (Refineries, assemblers, associated modules)


Obviously there is merit in the logic of trying not to make groups too large but there is no consistency of group size within the game. The issue is only compounded by just how many blocks and variants there are in comparison with the limited toolbar space, you end up endlessly going back into the menu to select the other variant of the block already on your toolbar.
