Need help with a project

[OnyxCougar]

I'm not sure if this should go here or in internet, but here goes:

I'm playing Everquest 2, which has a pretty complex crafting system.

Each "recipe" has components which are made of "refined" materials, which is, in itself, a recipe, requiring other components.

Example: (*) indicates that this is a raw component and needs no processing.

To make a piece of rawhide armor, I need the following components:
Rawhide Hide Plate
Generic Pattern
Rawhide Cord
Filament (*)

Rahwide Hide Plate requires the following components:
stretch of rawhide
chloro oil
filament (*)

Stretch of Rawhide requires the following components:
Sullied Pelt (*)
Chlorowash
filament (*)

Chlorowash and chloro oil each require the following components:
Raw Root (*)
liquid (*)
candle (*)

Etcetera.

My question is this:
How do a make a system by which I enter in what I want to make, and it gives me an ingredients list, broken down into raw ingredients and the refined items to make from them?

It's been done for dark age of camelot spellcrafting, so I know it can be done, but EQ2 is so new that there isn't anything like this out yet, and I really need it if I'm going to get good at this.

Can anyone help?
