Old "wire" item still used in some recipes #74867

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As I understand, the original "wire" recipe is being deprecated in favor of items differentiated by metal temper. However, some useful recipes still use this item. E.g., "welding wire" has it as a component, there is a crafting recipe for "wire" itself, and the disassembly recipe for "bra" produces it as a result.

Since welding wire is a very useful recipe, this needs to be updated. Currently, the only ways to produce the necessary components is to either hand-make them (lengthy) or rob zeds of their underwear.

Solution you would like.

Audit the crafting recipes, replace the old "wire" item in those with the updated wires of appropriate temper.

Describe alternatives you have considered.

There are more recipes that uses old wires. lock pick, atomic headlamp... Total in 56 recipes and some constructions. Also disassemble mattresses give you wires.

There's also something that provides "wire", as my character has acquired some somehow, which is useful for the production of lockpicks... I think the "wire" comes from farm supply depots and similar places, and thus are present in some loot lists. I recently noted that wire resulting from zombie smashed wire fences were of some kind if specified steel (mild?), and thus different. Obviously, this is the other side of the equation, i.e. supply side, and it probably should be addressed after the consumption side, i.e. recipes have been updated, so you don't have to go through the zombies' very dirty underwear to get hold of it.
