Change "Cannot be crafted in this machine." message if its due to fluidbox issues

Post by Quezler »

TL;DR
It would be nice if recipes that are disabled due to lack of fluid connections say so in their tooltip, just like recipes restricted by surface conditions.
What?
Something like "Cannot be crafted in this machine. There are not enough fluid ports.", but a little bit more snappy than that.
Why?
To make it more clear to debug why the recipe is not possible on the machine, since the gui provides no reason:
