Can somone tell me how to change a crafting recipe?

[Shinjikro]

I just want to change a few crafting recipes so they make more sense (like A hammer needing rope since it's in its sprite) but I cannot find out how to do it since there isn't much on it, just looking for someone to help and it would be greatly appreciated.

Also you might notice that Hammer (above) did originally require rope, it was changed in the DLCs
...\common\dont_starve\data\DLC0001\scripts\recipes.lua

The reason being that the designers wanted the hammer to be available before making a science machine, which means before refining rope.
It still requires the same ingredients (6 cut grass instead of 2 rope)
