Bloomeries take 24 flint. That's enough for three stacks of fire clay, which is 48 bricks, which is four bloomeries. So it scales pretty well.

Can confirm 24, which I believe is better than it used to be (I vaguely remember the original instance where you could only maybe fit 6 in at a time, though that may have been a pre-release build) And considering you only lose up to about 3-4 bricks per bloomery when they finish the loss rate isn't too bad.

I still think you should be able to make higher-tier bloomeries with refractory bricks that have a lower chance of losing any bricks at all, but in the end being able to make 3 bloomeries out of every 4 you cook means as long as one is always cooking flint you'll never run out.
