[dev1016] Redundant Raw Materials (or: Why Do I Need 12 Slots of Raw Iron?)

[zaviermhigo]

In real life you can make iron from anything that possesses iron ore within it. By giving us multiple ways to create iron ore it makes it more realistic. Also what Raikki said, some are easier to obtain then others, and some synths are easier/ harder depending on rank but I think they took this out or if the smelting book negates this. I just know people without the book have a harder time on some smelts than others. So it gives you more options.

Also if there were only one make to make a metal/alloy, then people could monopolize that ore and keep the prices inflated. This was one of the smarter things they did economically.
