The default tags are pretty lacking. Tags like "Moody" and "Fun" are good for a music search, but not builds. We need a wide variety of precise types of objects. Not just vehicles, but cars, trucks, planes, helicopters, spaceships, trains, etc.

This is especially necessary since you can't search for "Train" and get everything on the workshop that's a train. Most builds aren't named "Car" or "Truck," they're named "Ecto Mobile" or "Troop Transport." Builds named after specific things simply don't show up when searching generally.

On that note, there should be an option to search descriptions as well as titles, and it should be enabled by default. So many important words about what things are are in the description and they just don't show up.

Improvements to gallery tags/search

#

also tags for things meant for other builders, like
"subcircuit"
"display"
"input"
"contraption part"
"lighting"
"ambience" + "audio"
"color palette" maybe

I was just giving examples. Absolutely consider this post a call for tag suggestions.

#

also recreation / replica (copying something from the real world) and unique creation / original idea for fictional creations

What about animals and plushies?

#

that is a must add

#

like I seen soo many animals/creatures in the gallery

We need tags for worlds as well. "Furniture" doesn't really apply

#

things like "Freebuild" and "sandbox" and "puzzle" and "Music" and whatever you call a build that's just a build and not anything functional
And mood tags should go here as well

non-functional stuff could 0e "statue"/"sculpture"/"decoration" or "architecture" for worlds

hoary inlet
#

no because architecture could still be in a functional map

#

I want a tag that unambiguously means "just here to look at"

I want my modular buildings

"modular" would be a good tag
