Then you can reference to it, for example:

Recipes.Cook.Tier1.Recipe1["Name"]

and so on (depending on how it's structured)

well, since we are going to be doing some kind of referencing, would it be best to remove the section "RECIPE1" from the main data file?

example::

Recipes.Cook.Tier1["Name"]

I can see how having RECIPE# in there can cause issues with later updates, if thge Recipe# changes due to new recipes being added in the middle then it would be trying to reference the wrong recipe. Let me know if it would be best to remove that, and I'll repost a data file without that section if so. Thanks for the feedback on this.
