You didn't properly mix the ingredients together

Citation

"You didn't properly mix the ingredients together and you're a bit dissappointed with the result. Nohting useful can be created this time."

This message is misleading and also contains 2 spelling mistakes. ("dissappointed" and "nohting") This message suggests that the player did something wrong when selecting the ingredients but the truth is the crafting simply failed.

The message would be better written as:

Citation

"You mixed the ingredients properly but you are disappointed with the result. Nothing useful was created."

I'd just write, "Your crafting attempt failed." No need for all that waffle really, is there?

And I'd get rid of the pop-up message that gets in the way.

Agreed but it should say "YOU FAIL! Now go cry to your mama and tell her you can't even make (insert whatever you were trying to make here)" LMAO!

I took each of your comment into account as well as the original version...

Here's the final version entered in the text file "Your crafting attempt failed and nothing useful was created".
