More building menu info

It should tell in the tooltip of each object whether it is liftable or not in the build menu, for example wicker baskets are, but drying frames arent.

Or you deduce that from Drying Frame lying under "Buildings & Construction", and Wicker Baskets under "Containers".

There should be descriptive text explaining the mechanics of non-obvious objects, however. Working on that.

Extraction presses are not liftable even though other things in the category are.

It's under "Building & Construction" which literally says "All immobile constructions sort under this category".
If people were just smart enough to read tbh

Its very hidden and not obvious, also see the previous post, so its not even consistent as some categories have liftable and non liftable objects without any tooltips.

To be fair, extraction presses used to be liftable; they were just changed not to be.
