Incorporate the Smelting patch as a native option

[alercah]

The Smelting Patch mod is intended to remove various furnace-crafting recipes to force the player to use advanced smelting instead. This should be an option provided by Angel's mods directly by default, to avoid the patch getting out of date (it is) or otherwise doing broken things (like enabling oxygen-less steel smelting it seems???). It would be an easy option for Angel's to control.

Leaving this here as a solution for the oxygen less steel smelting

For the other early game variants, might be difficult as there are many configs, might have to look at the smelting patch mod for that

The iron, copper, tin and lead ore smelting to plates have been disabled.. The remaining part is an option to disable (and replace) the bobs furnaces by angels (blast and chemical?) furnaces instead

The vast majority of the "smelting only" patch has been subverted by the changes to the mod (for the first 2021 release). To the point I am happy to actually close this now. The only thing that the mod offered was to add some starting equipment and force the "starting 4" smelting recipes out of the regular furnace system. I don't think that is necessary at all.
