Adjust Bathroom Scale Craft/Disassemble

Summary

Balance "Adjust Bathroom Scale Craft/Disassemble"

Purpose of change

Someone pointed out that the materials for the bathroom scale are not enough to equal the weight or volume of the item. It was made of scraps/chunks as well when it realistically should be sheet metals of some sort. The recipe was also not matching up to the disassembly recipe.

Describe the solution

I have changed the crafting recipe to use sheet metal instead of chunks/scrap steel. I changed the disassembly to reflect this change/regain most material in a smaller form (can’t put it back to one sheet metal). There was no item listed that it was based on, so I have picked a random one from Amazon and chosen to try and replicate that. Link and details in additional info below.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Leaving it or making it use welded small sheet metals instead.

Testing

Just checked it in game and made sure it all booted proper/could be crafted and disassembled.

Additional context

Item I based it on (not really much built off this info but whatever): https://www.amazon.com.au/PROPERT-Mechanical-Bathroom-Speedometer-Analogue/dp/B0B4W8NH9N/

Product dimensions = 8 x 30 x 30 cm – approx 1 kg (I’ve left the initial weight due to how heavy our sheet metal and materials are) This is roughly half the size of sheet metal, and since we’re making a panel from both top and bottom I’ve chosen to use the sheet metal only (instead of allowing small sheet metal). This allows me to circumvent having to add welding for the small sheet metal, and I can give a byproduct of leftover metals.

Because this recipe is cutting a single sheet metal into two pieces and sandwiching the inner workings between them, the disassembly cannot give a sheet metal. As a result, I chose to have it return small sheet metal instead. This is not a perfect solution but the alternative is chunks/scraps of metal, which is even worse.

And a screenshot because idk maybe you want to see a scale image
