I’d love to see unsmelteries and forges in general reworked. Here’s the general idea I have in mind (very rough around the edges):

Unsmelteries would be renamed “Crucibles.” All the factions’ forges (Elven, Dwarven, Orc, etc) would be removed and replaced with either faction-specific crucibles or only one type of crucible with different recipes for faction steels &c. You would melt ore in these, and once full enough you could pour it into a mould for ingots. You could also melt down equipment. You could pour out enough to make ingots but keep some liquid metal still in the crucible. That way if there isn’t enough for a full ingot you just have to melt down more stuff until it adds up. There would be a meter like the meter in a barrel showing how many ingots’ worth of molten metal are in the crucible, and it would be able to display partial values.

This would require a major reworking of forging systems though, and it may not be worth it. I really like the way the different forges work now, and they look very nice in builds. This way would make sense though and solve the unsmeltery’s issues.
