Craft grinding now impossible without self mutilation?

Electrum Ring mats are so easy to get now its like a free syth if you have miner.

Last I checked, Electrum Ring is not craft-able at all.
They didn't add any recipes to make Electrum Ingots into the Ring, so you're stuck with the old nugget recipes, and you can no longer make electrum nuggets because that recipe was changed to make electrum ingots.

I tried 3 gold, 1 silver ores to no success. And sand doesn't exist anymore.
