Just place your unwanted item into any furnace and watch it cook. You'll get back 100% of the materials of whatever type it returns, that is, if an item was crafted with iron and copper, you'll get back all of the invested iron but none of the copper.

The mod prioritizes steel/iron over copper/brick for the smelting result, as those are usually the heaviest crafting investment into the crafted items. Oh, and any stone is cooked for you into bricks. Useful for higher tier furnaces!

Smelting recipes unlock when they're relevant (when the item becomes outdated).

Note: numbers between parenthesis correspond to costs on savegames with the Expensive recipes preset.

From the get-go:

• 1 burner inserter → 3 iron plates (5 iron plates)
• 1 burner miner → 9 iron plates (30 iron plates)
• 1 pistol → 5 iron plates

• 2 stone furnaces → 5 stone bricks
• 1 iron chest → 8 iron plates
• [Bobplates] 1 metal mixing furnace → 5 stone bricks
• [Bobplates] 1 chemical furnace → 5 stone bricks
