modding How do I create a custom recipe type?

[ThatNoLifeArtist]

I'd like to create a system similar to that of cooking, where you put ingredients in a bottle instead of a cooking pot, however I don't want regular food recipes to be craftable while using the bottle (for example, I wouldn't want soup in an alchemical bottle) is there any way of creating a custom crafting type?

Absolutely.  Pretty much anything is possible. I'd consider the crafting grid, firepit, quern, and barrel to be four examples of custom crafting, and much of the C# source code for them is at your disposal.  Probably all in the vssurvivalmod repository here:  https://github.com/anegostudios.  You might have to search a bit to track them down.  The assets (.json files and images) associated with that code ships with the game of course.
