📋 About This Mod

Tired of breaking your keyboard because you need to smelt thousand of ores, iron fittings, locks, nails or hinges, with Smithing And Smelting Improved no more new keyboard. How logical is that smelting a Bent Dwemer Scrap Metal that weight 2 will give 3 dwarven metal ingots when a Large Dwemer Strut that weight 20 will give the same amount, so I did add a few new recipes to change this see the list in features.

Also added recipes for pickaxes, woodcutter and lock pick..

Note that these are my personal modifications that I created for myself, So please do not comment about another mod does the same thing because it will be false, because I'm sure that no other mod have my same settings.
