Description
### Describe the bug
Trying to mine in the designed zone. I get a message explaining the failure with broken formatting:

### Attach save file
[Winter Beach-trimmed.tar.gz](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/15525055/Winter.Beach-trimmed.tar.gz)
### Steps to reproduce
1. Load attached save.
2. `O` to open the `Zone activity` menu.
3. `M`ine area.
4. Observe the message log with the nondescriptive message ending in `The required items are not available to complete the %s at zone %s`
### Expected behavior
The message formats correctly.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Load the attached Winter Beach save and reproduce the issue through the Zone activity menu: press O, choose Mine area, and inspect the message log. Trace the message shown after the mining attempt, then confirm that the required-items failure message displays its activity and zone values instead of the literal placeholders.
