Production Tiers
Every manufacturing and transformation recipe arranged by dependency depth:
- Tier 0: Smelter foundations (ore → refined stock).
- Tier 1+: every other recipe sits one tier above its deepest manufactured input. Recipes that consume only source materials enter at Tier 1.
- Discovered Seed Maker and Bio Lab recipes join the graph without exposing undiscovered combinations or specimens.
The Item Catalog component reports an item’s production_tier programmatically (None for source items).
