Melt metal heads

[Resserfi_YT]

i was playing a survival in vintage story panning some bone dirt and gravel to get native copper but i got some copper tools like some arrowheads and a spearhead but i dont wanted a spear or arrows!!! i wanted that copper!!! Basically why we cant just put a spear head on a crucible and melt it for it's value (or a bit less because u are recycling)

Yea i want to melt metal heads because is realistic and a good way to start.

I'd like this too. The copper spearheads I typically end up using, at least early game, but the arrowheads I rarely bother with. In the mid-late game? Yeah I'd rather just melt that stuff down and turn it into lanterns or something else that's more useful. That way it's not cluttering up my chests and I can get some value out of it, instead of just tossing it.

The most sensible approach would probably be allowing us to use chisel like we would on a work item we want to scrap, refunding metal bits. Arrow heads can probably just give you two bits each (10 units of metal) and other tools could probably give a discounted quantity based on the wear, down to maybe, like 5 bits (25 units, quarter of original investment) if near zero durability?

Having absolutely no reason to hold on to worn tools, instead just always using them to breaking, seems a little boring. Some means of repair or recycling would be great, and given that you might find tools and spear/arrow heads you don't want, recycling is probably a better approach to start with. Especially since we already have the recycling mechanic for select items.

It's honestly weird that we can scrap a metal rod, etc., but not a spearhead. I suspect, this really is to avoid people from cheesing the durability on tools, but that's why I think a discount based on remaining durability would make it fair.
