Usefulness and clarity in text.
 
I would like to comment on some of the system info walls of text I've seen, particularly while digging but also elsewhere in game that could use an editors clean up similar to the fix the typo clean up we've so appreciated.

As an example of the message I am refering to.

A harvester casts deposit search for excellent materials and generates this system reply:

"You have detected the presence of raw materials, but they are of a different class than the materials searched for by your current prospecting action"

Useless, vague and spammed repeatedly it eventually becomes an ignored obnoxious annoyance. And for a new person, from what questions I continually get, they find it's just confusing. The player was looking for excellent mats, not vague comments on some other materials they don't need/want.

Cleaning up or pruning some of the system generated spam messages could only help the game.

I have noticed these messages aren't always generated, quite often you get the "materials searched for are not present in this season" message which is both useful and to the point.

This is only one example, I've seen others but if you are in the mood to edit confusing in-game text these could use some tender loving care as well.

Thanks :)
