Many players set up automated ore processing such that they wind up with only ingots available in their inventories. This makes recipes which suggest getting pulverized metals from raw ores cumbersome for them to work with as they need to do some translating in their head.
SOLUTION
Offer the calculation option to prefer recipes where pulverized metals are created from ingots rather than ores.
