Unsmeltery being able to make alloys back into base components I like this suggestion, but in order for it to be implemented, I believe the unsmeltery would require an updated gui so that it has two inventory slots for items that it has unsmelted. Also the item you unsmelt would either have to be a block of that alloy, or a lot of new nuggets types would have to be added if you were to unsmelt alloy ingots. If I recall correctly, I saw somewhere that Mevans said he did not want to add a lot more nugget types meaning that you would have to use a block if this ever gets implemented. what do you mean by that? Why would it have to be a block or ingot instead of just getting the same things it is made of, ie bronze gives 1 tin ingot and 1 copper Well, the way the unsmeltery works now, you only get a percentage of the items back. Example: I unsmelt a full durability dwarven chestplate and I only get 6 ingots back whereas it takes 8 ingots to craft it. I'm sure it would be possible to give 100% of the materials back, but I think the reason for only giving a percentage back is to keep it balanced. Giving 100% back wouldn't be balanced, nor realistic as some material would be lost. Also, AlteOgre has a good point about middle earth not having the technological capabilites to do this. When I first posted this, I was only thinking about the in game mechanics and not if it would be suited to middle earth.
