- the original object does not have to know anything about the object that can substitute it, so it can be used by modders for their new content
- the user can decide if this object is a substitute in all products (e.g. bear skin can replace wipf skin), or in specific products (a smelter can produce metal from ore and coal. The ore may be substituted by a metal barrel in this specific case)
- the user has the option to set a different ratio for the substituted component (e.g. a monster egg can be substituted by 2 bird eggs in my omelette).
