Taking Copper Wire as an example:
With OreDict, mods like Immersive Engineering expose generic items (Copper Wire is tagged wireCopper and goes into any other mod's recipes with copper wires). HBM does not make its Copper Wire (or plate, and other such materials) available for other mods' recipes, nor does it accept other mods' copper wires in its recipes.
Suggestion: improve integration so materials would be interoperable with other mods by including forge or oredict material tags in the mod by default.
