 -- Script to add unknown crafting recipes to the player's civ.
---[====[
-add-recipe
-==========
-Adds unknown weapon and armor crafting recipes to your civ.
-E.g. some civilizations never learn to craft high boots. This script can
-help with that, and more. Only weapons, armor, and tools are currently supported;
-things such as instruments are not. Available options:
-
-* ``add-recipe all`` adds *all* available weapons and armor, including exotic items
-  like blowguns, two-handed swords, and capes.
-
-* ``add-recipe native`` adds only native (but unknown) crafting recipes. Civilizations
-  pick randomly from a pool of possible recipes, which means not all civs get
-  high boots, for instance. This command gives you all the recipes your
-  civilisation could have gotten.
-
-* ``add-recipe single <item token>`` adds a single item by the given
-  item token. For example::
-
-    add-recipe single SHOES:ITEM_SHOES_BOOTS
