Different message when trying to haul an item outside of restricted areas.

Display a different message when trying to right-click haul an item outside of restricted areas.

I recently had a Siege.
My typical tactic(being a mountain cave dweller) is to hole up in the mountain, wait for them to sleep, then kill one or two(quietly in melee) before returning for medical aid. Rinse repeat until the raid charges the settlement.

During the second night I killed more sleeping raiders then manually unforbid their packaged survival meals and stole them. I noticed that new packaged survival meals were almost immediately sent via drop pods. On the third outing(several days later) I finished them off and went to grab the remaining packaged survival meals.

Over the course of several days of managing this, I had forgotten that after the second night I had restricted my colonists to Home Area only. So there was a bit of confusion when I tried to haul the meals back afterwards.

I admit the problem was a bit of my own absent mindedness, but I still think it would be helpful if there was a different message for when you can't do things due to restriction rather than forbidden.

well if it says that it is forbidden than. Well it's forbidden and i have no useful suggestion so i am just going to say that is all your fault. Sorry

Im aware of the fact my own forgetfulness is the fault here, there is no need to get rude.
But that still doesn't change that a unique message would be useful since it technically wasn't forbidden, rather it was restricted.

Would deffo say this would remove a lot of posts from here and reddit for this very issue. Catches lots of people out.

Agree.
The message could be "restricted zone" . Simple enough.
I had this problem several times, even after solving it it happened again weeks later that I didn't understand the message.
