Let a recipe accept any kind of wood, even when items count twice

A recipe asks for any wood and any fuel. Charcoal is fuel, planks are both. Picking the first match for each line can wrongly say you lack something you actually have. This entry finds a valid assignment whenever one exists.

Why this works

When one item can fill several roles, a quick choice for the first role may steal what the second needed. The honest question is whether any way of sharing works at all, so every possibility must be allowed to shift.

When not to use it

Do not search for the best fit when recipes name exact items, or when tags are so few and distinct that no item fits two lines. A plain lookup is simpler and quicker, and easier to explain to players.
