Logical Jewelry

Description
Do you want the most out of your jewelry crafting in Skyrim, but but realize that the jewely making system is illogical?

Why would it cost a 1-weight gold or silver ingot to make two .25-weight gold or silver rings?
What happened to the other .5-weight of the silver or gold ingot?

This mod will remedy your think-box by making jewelry smithing in skyrim actually make sense.

This mod:
-Balances crafting weight issues to make sense.
-Making jewelry with gems require one more step to create. Now you have to craft the base necklace or ring before using the gems to make the better jewelry.
-Inconsequentially makes Smithing easier to grind ( Well, this mod makes more rings and neckalces per ingot, and THEN you have to craft the gemed jewelry. More crafting things = more smithing XP!)


"But Clark, the rings weigh 0.3 pounds, kilograms, squared elephants, or whatever Skyrim uses as a measurement of weight! How does it make sense that I make 4 rings from a 1 [insert weight measurement] gold or silver ingot?"


Well, Bethesda's User Interface for Skyrim simplifies numbers so that you only see the tenth decimal place, and round up. Rings actually weigh .25 thingies.

[INCOMING MATH. AVOID IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW THE MATH EXPLANATION]

In fact, you can even do the math in-game using twenty rings. Drop the rings, and record the difference in weight once you pick them up again.

Here's your formula to solve. [20rings*X=Y] X= The actual weight of the rings(what you're finding!), Y= The total weight difference when you add 20 rings into your inventory.

Use algebra to solve for X.

(SPOILER: you'll get a 5 weight difference, [20rings*Xweight=5total_weight]. 5total_weight/20rings= 0.25weight.

If rings actually weighed 0.3, the equation would be this: [20rings*0.3weight=6], and the total weight would be 6 instead of 5)

God I sound like a math teacher :/

[OUTCOMING MATH.]

Let me know if you have any issues.

COMPATABILITY:

This mod modifies the recipies for jewelry at forges, so anything that modifies those recipies would be considered "incompatible".

I wish gold/silver ingots were smaller, with an addition of gold and silver bars the size shown in the game and weighted heavier, and made from ingots (maybe 10 ingots = 1 bar).

I've wanted this gem and material separation, thank you.

Much better and less waste of gold and silver ignots. Thanx for having a brain.

I try not to edit the rings, as I know other mods edit the rings. I know your feeling and I wish I could make it as realistically balanced as possible, but I'm sure other modders would complain about ring overwrites.

Thank you good sir!

Thank you good sir, for being an educated gentleman, and for being someone else who noticed that shit with the rings. I noticed it one day and it annoyed me so much.

great mod, but theres still the size difference, I would probably change the recipy to 10 rings per ingot & the weight to 0.1 fuck the price difference.
