name: "use"
category: "General"
description: |
  Use an item on a target — the universal interaction command.

  Usage:
    use <item> on <target>        Use item on a specific target
    use <item> with <item>        Combine two inventory items

  The "use" command routes to different systems based on the target:

    Station object (furnace, anvil, fire, range)
      If recipes match the item and station, opens a production menu.

    Object with use_interactions
      Shows a message or triggers an action (flags, teleport, etc.).

    Object with behavior
      Dispatches to the object's behavior (gather, talk, toggle).

    Inventory item
      If a MadeFrom recipe matches both items, starts a combine
      production action. You are prompted "How many?" before starting.

  Examples:
    use trout on fire           Cook trout on a campfire
    use copper ore on furnace   Smelt copper ore
    use bronze bar on anvil     Smith bronze items
    use flour on water          Combine into dough
