      As for the treasure lists -  sounds good.  It would make it easier to reuse parts of formulas as well.  My only concern is that if you make it so the recipies become static after the first run then that might be a problem for adding/updating.  I would rather have this as part of the collect build routine so new recipies could be added as easily as new arches.  This also provides a place to generate book info.

  I haven't yet figured out a good way to deal with the generation of the 
recipes and updates.

  The problem with using collect is I don't know how many servers actually 
collect their own archetype & related data.  Thus, either already collected 
versions get checked into CVS (and thus back to the same case, where everyone 
uses the same data) or recipes are missing.

  One thought is a special naming convention could perhaps be used - like 
'random_recipe_...'.  Then, when the server starts up, it parses the treasures 
file.  It sees what 'random_recipe_...' entries it finds, and then compares them 
against the list of valid recipes, and adds (creates) new ones, or removes old 
ones or something.
