Current Behavior

When rebuilding houses on Nasdara, the construction interface displays a bucket icon for the required Mortar Mix material.

However, the icon does not clearly indicate that Mortar Mix must first be prepared by adding water.

Players may attempt to attach regular MortarMix to the construction slot without realizing that the required item is actually MortarMix_Opened.

The difference is not immediately obvious from the construction interface.

This confusion has already been reported by another player in #DZG-1161

Suggested Improvements

1. Improve the construction slot icon

Add a small water droplet symbol to the Mortar Mix icon in the construction materials list.

This could visually suggest that water is required before the material can be used.

2. Add a contextual hint

When a player attempts to attach unprepared Mortar Mix to a construction slot, display a message such as:

"Mortar Mix must be mixed with water before use."

This would explain why the item cannot be attached and what the player needs to do next.

Benefits

• Makes the construction requirements easier to understand.

• Helps players discover the Mortar Mix preparation mechanic naturally.

• Reduces confusion between regular and prepared Mortar Mix.

• Prevents unnecessary bug reports caused by unclear crafting requirements.

• Improves the accessibility of the new rebuilding system without changing gameplay balance.

Both improvements could work together, although either one would already make the construction interface more intuitive.

1. Find a rebuildable house on Nasdara.

2. Open the construction materials interface.

3. Locate the Mortar Mix requirement represented by a bucket icon.

4. Obtain regular, unprepared Mortar Mix (MortarMix).

5. Attempt to attach it to the required construction slot.

6. Observe that the interface does not explain that water must be added first.

The construction interface should clearly communicate that Mortar Mix needs to be prepared with water before it can be attached.

This could be achieved through a water droplet indicator on the construction slot icon, a contextual hint when attempting to attach unprepared Mortar Mix, or both.

Actual Result

The construction slot displays a generic bucket icon without indicating that prepared Mortar Mix is required.

When attempting to attach unprepared Mortar Mix, the player receives no clear explanation of why the item cannot be used.
