Reduce ingot production of smelters from 1.5x/4x to 1x/2x

[Wunarg]

Auto forge produces 1x ingots instead of 1.5x (previously random) Induction smelter produces 2x instead of 4x

General nerf to slow down the easy of access to ingots and correspondingly money

unironically a certified darkslayer moment I have seen absolutely no discussion with the community, as everyone ive now talked to opposes it anyway.

you also forgot to change the coal ratios, which all relied on the induction producing 4x ingots, effectively making this a double nerf, in time and cost

After thinking more, and you know, actually discussing changes this impactful with the community:

I think it would be much wiser to nerf the auto forge down to 1x, but keep induction as is We literally just added coal to both for the exact purpose of slowing resource production, which worked pretty well. And by doing this to nerf money and are gonna end up crippling defenses as well, there are so many better ways of doing this that wont shit industry as a whole

Hmm 1x, 3x might be decent with the current coal cost. But it would be nice if you responded in a less angry way. 1x, 4x seems a bit much for the induction furnace, since it makes the difference between induction furnace and normal furnace a bit high. In general this change does very little but increased the time needed to get ingots, which encourages people to seek more sources of ore and other sources of coins instead of throwing some gold into a furnace beeing the default option for nearly all money needs.
