Brass Plated Blocks, used for glassmaking, are crafted 8 at a time with 4 brass plates (and a plank and hammer). Each block can be melted into 1 ingot of brass, but the input recipe only requires 4 ingots once you have access to cheaper plates (like the Create press for 1-1 ingot-plate recipe). Therefore, at the cost of hammer durability and wood, you can turn 4 ingots of brass into 8.
Suggested fix: change Brass Plated Block to melt into 0.5 ingots each, and adjust its variants (stairs, slabs) to half of their current values.
