Running around Elex, you pick up a lot of things like spoons, dishes and such.

Looking at the templates, it seems every item has its own pickup script or function to what it transforms into if picked up, the inventory icon and more.
I wonder if it is not too much work to change this.

Spoon -> Metal
Fork -> Metal
Mug -> Junk
Toy -> Junk
Broom -> Junk

I am not sure what names are used in the English version of the game.

You have in your inventory Metal and Junk for all those small items you picked up that are not needed for a quest.
This is pretty much what has been done in Fallout4, everything you pickup transforms into a resource if you want to craft something. Here it would transform directly on pickup.

Yes, you can do that: if you replace the 'Creator'-GUID of an item entity inside a .elexsecdoc file, you change the item that is generated in the inventory when picked up. (The 'Creator'-GUID refers to the 2nd GUID of a template, .elextpldoc). Just use search & replace to transform all Spoon-GUIDs to Metal-GUIDs and so on in all Item-.elexsecdoc files.

OK, I need a bit of help :/
This is a spoon in Edan:

"It_Misc_Spoon" { GUID = {7493FE9C-8B66-46D3-8E23-E594C653FB6E};
Creator = {71F46D33-0DB5-49AD-BC59-E9D65ADAC80E};

WorldItem and SlotItem is all {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
For It_Misc_Plate_2, the ItemInventory is 3ABD7C50-C3FD-4810-9CB0-9F8D25DD4CE0
It_Val_Sulfur has gEItemCategory gEItemCategory_Crafting
It_Misc_MechanicalScrap_[1-4] has all ItemInventory C428F993-A9DC-4FF5-83D7-A65A12498FFA
I am not familiar with what to change, it is OK if you don't know either. I'll then test around.
I think I need to copy the values from some crafting item like It_Misc_MechanicalScrap_1 and apply them to gCItem_PS for the otherwise misc items like It_Misc_Hammer

p.s. Oh wait, you said just the Creator GUID?
Will try...
