Current Behavior

The description of Mortar Mix (MortarMix) simply states: "Simply add water and start building your new home."

However, preparing Mortar Mix requires at least 1 liter of water.

If a player attempts to combine Mortar Mix with a water container holding less than the required amount, the crafting action is unavailable, without clearly explaining why.

This can be confusing, especially for players discovering the new building mechanics on Nasdara.

Suggestion

Display a contextual hint when a player drags a water container containing insufficient water onto Mortar Mix in the inventory.

For example:

"Not enough water. Requires 1 liter."

The hint could also appear when attempting to combine the items using other supported inventory interactions.

Benefits

  • Clearly communicates the water requirement.

  • Reduces confusion when crafting fails.

  • Helps players understand the mechanic without external guides.

  • Improves the usability of the new construction system without changing its balance.

This would be a small quality-of-life improvement that could make preparing Mortar Mix more intuitive.

Reproduction steps
  1. Obtain an unopened Mortar Mix (MortarMix).

  2. Fill a compatible water container with less than 1 liter of water.

  3. Open the inventory.

  4. Drag the water container onto Mortar Mix to attempt combining them.

  5. Observe that the crafting action is unavailable, without an explanation of the required water amount.

Expected result

When attempting to combine Mortar Mix with a container holding insufficient water, the game should display a contextual hint explaining that at least 1 liter of water is required.


Actual Result

The crafting action is unavailable when the water container holds less than the required amount, but no contextual hint explains the reason or specifies how much water is needed.
