Would be better that way tbh, they could also ditch the gimmick of having the bars plop out onto the ground, and increase the amount of ore you can fit inside to at least hold full stacks.

I agree, but then they'd have to rework the whole input/output system there. Instead of taking just scrap/ore, the input would have to allow ingots as well, for example, and they've have to consider dumb players like me accidentally putting in all the copper they just smelted and having to break the thing to get it all back.

Well they can ditch that too, just give it an interface to do all of that, and if they still want the items to be physically spit out, they can do that too. It would also get rid of having to individually load each ore/coal.

I just want the smelting process to be quicker... I already spend a good few hours gathering and transporting it, just let me load up the smelter and give me a decent amount in return so I can move on to the next area lol.
