Seems like this may not be a game for you. However you don't need that much silver if you just craft what you want/need. Personally I found bronze to be the worst because you need two different metals to make it. I also understand finding copper and tin is way easier than silver. Use the stagbreaker for a good way if you haven't killed Bonemass yet. No one will fault you if you use a mod to portal the metals or to increase your QOL due to your circumstances.
