Bronze recipe

[Jlane409]

I may just be me, but the recipe feels odd. Having to smelt the copper and tin into bars in order to make it seems a bit extra. Not only that, but it take 6 ore (4 copper, 2 tin) to make 1 bar. To me, it would feel better if the recipe used ore in a 2-1 ratio, or gave more than 1 bronze bar at the end(if kept as using the ingots)

No, it's not odd at all. You can't make alloy straight from the ore, you need to refine ores to corresponding raw metals first, only then you can smelt them together and make an alloy.
4 copper, 2 tin is correct, or close to correct mix for making bronze, tin-bronze usually contains between 85-90% copper and 10-15% tin.
I know, I have been smelting and casting bronze and other metals over 30 years.

Shouldnt be 4 copper 1 tin then?
