Much of the reason I added the unsmeltery at all was to create an easy* system for 'uncrafting' which could include randomisation, easy dependence on durability, and the possibility of a zero output. Fibrous armours are included because it would be irritating to have them left out of this useful mechanic, and it would be unneeded bloat to add a separate block simply for this purpose, so consider it a necessary suspension of belief.

2. Cauldron - good idea. Bars - nope, this gets requested a lot, but with some simple maths: 16 bars are crafted with 6 ingots, so each bar would unsmelt to average 3/8 of an ingot, which clearly couldn't work. And adding tons of nugget items just to fulfil this purpose is not something I'd like to do.

3. Yes, that could be done, but having metal in the recipe is probably something that needs to be changed anyway.

_ * it really wasn't. 1: Ok, understood.

2: Why don't we add an new item(block?) crafted with 4 bars. Something like "compressed bars". They would yield about one ingot. If the item is placeable it could be something like a cage without bottom and top (dont know the word for that :D).

3: Ok.
