  The recipe system lets you combine items and use stations to
  create new items. Recipes are the core of cooking, smithing,
  smelting, and other production skills.

  There are two ways to make things:

  Station recipes — use a crafting station:
    cook <item>              Cook on a fire or range
    smelt <item>             Smelt ore at a furnace
    smith <item>             Smith bars at an anvil
    use <item> on <object>   Use an item on a station

  Item combinations — combine items directly from inventory:
    use <item> with <item>   Combine two items (e.g., flour + water)

  When multiple recipes match, a table menu appears. Select by
  typing a number, an item name, or a partial name (if
  unambiguous). Press enter to cancel the menu.

  All production prompts "How many?" before starting. Press return
  for all, type a number, or anything else to cancel.

  When a recipe has a skill requirement, the game rolls your skill
  level against the recipe's difficulty. Success gives XP and the
  finished product. Failure may produce a ruined item.
