Functional Ore Processors

Description
You've seen them haven't you?

The promise of a way to turn iron into steel, all at a single station.

This mod edits the function of the ore processors you see scattered throughout the map to allow raw iron to be turned into steel bars at a 5 to 1 ratio. It's expensive and very power demanding but it gives these machines the spotlight they deserve.

I did add some research to obtain these at the end of Steel refineries 3 as an additional upgrade but chances are I've done it wrong. You should be able to upgrade a Steel Refinery 3 into a ore processor once you've obtained the research at level 6.

Like most workstations in towns you can use them manually to turn raw iron directly into steel bars. This gives Catun and to a lesser extent Mourn a reason to visit them as they can allow you to obtain large amounts of steel bars quickly if you mine iron outside the town.

See them in action at the various slave camps by downloading another mod, Working Slave Camps here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2857778858

Alright, I'll try it once I get around to building a base again.

This might possibly be due to upgrading a steel refinery to an ore processor, For ore processors in the slave camps it does only seem to require ore. Maybe you could try building an ore processor from scratch?

For me it still required iron plates in addition to ore to craft steel bars, I think it might be a mod conflict but it still sort of works out since it is still material efficient due to lower plate cost.
