Describe the bug
Like the title, when I'm autocrafting a pattern, it's not using other substitutal materials, eg. oak or dark oak for making chests.

Using ae2-8.1.0-alpha.3
Forge version 34.1.23
Minecraft Java 1.16.3

To Reproduce
Seems to be consistant in 1.16.3 for me so far. I've had same issue in several worlds.

Expected behavior

I expect materials to be automatically substituted when available.

Currently this is not well supported since the switch from forge oredictionary to the new native tags system. This is now way more ambiguous and we can no longer look up alternative items in an easy way without an API change. So this needs to be at least postponed to 8.2.x or even 9.x depending on requiring an API break or can support it in a backwards comaptible approach.

Gotcha, thanks. I can understand that. Would it be possible to add a popup text over the button, to indicate that it's not working well currently? So others can understand without having to add more bug reports?

I realize this is a much larger scope, but has anyone considered the concept of a "substitution pattern", allowing a specific set of substitutes? After crafting and configuring a pattern (somewhere), this pattern would substitute into 1+ slots of the recipe in the Pattern Terminal.

This is particularly helpful for cases wherein a recipe does not directly use a tag, but rather there are multiple recipes. Or if a pattern must be tied to a single recipe, it is still useful to be able to whitelist just a subset of items. For example, maybe I want to craft Resourceful Bees bee hives using Water Honeycomb and Lava Honeycomb, but never craft them using Netherite Honeycomb. Or maybe I want to never use up my Stone, and always use my Soapstone, Rocky Stone, Scoria Stone, etc.
