Allow the creation of bloomeries out of refractory bricks, with a higher % return on bricks

[StCatharines]

As the title says, it would be a slick use of in-game assets to allow for using the T1/2/3 refractory bricks in making bloomeries that return nearly all or all of the bricks on breaking apart.

Or let us build a larger, more sophisticated bloomery that we don't have to break in order to get the contents. That way we can smelt way more ore at once. In regards to how it's built and functions, it could be similar to the refractory and beehive kiln that we have already: a multiblock structure that requires some replacement of bricks after each firing, depending on brick quality.

Now the main catch there, of course, is that you'll need more sophisticated materials to build a structure like that, and you'll also need a dedicated spot for it. No slapping it together and plunking it down anywhere like you can with the little bloomeries.

At the very least, just give us back all of our bricks if we haven't fired the bloomery yet. I wasn't paying attention last time I played and broke my bloomeries thinking the iron was smelted...it very much wasn't since I loaded them but forgot to actually light them.

Yes!

Ugh. I've done it - that hurts.
