Quote:Plus I have several folders. Giantkin, Dragonkin, Daemonkin, Humanoids, Plants, Arachnids and Insects, Fey, etc.

Here is why I don't like that concept...

Does the skeletal dragon go in "undead" or "dragons" folder? Or do you create a file called dragons.scp in the undead folder? Does the dragon wolf go in "dragons" or "wolves"? Does the undead gargoyle go in "undead" or "gargoyles"? Chaos indeed (pun intended)!

For my own sanity, I put all the base NPC's in one file... in other words all [DEFNAME 0xxx] are in one huge file, all in order by number, all numbers in hex. Same for ITEMS (my items.scp file has 168191 rows!)

The SCP is a nightmare in this regard... is the elven table that can be used for storage in the "furniture" file, the "carpenter crafting" file, the "house decoration" file, the "containers" file, or the "misc" file (since it doesn't fit in one of the obvious places)? You get the idea...

It personal preference, and there is no single right answer... but I caution against changing the status quo file/folder structure too often - and as you've no doubt heard a million times - keep it as simple as possible. Personally I would prefer the SCP to have no more than two dozen HUGE files all in one folder than have the current sprawl.
