About this mod
Makes various Dwemer/Dwarven scrap pieces weigh less, the smelting recipes for Dwarven Metal Ingots have been expanded, make a bit more sense and only show up when you have a relevant piece in your inventory.

Probably not. But now you can! This mod allows you to smelt almost all the useless dwemer scrap, crap and dinnerware into ingots, and grab more of them per dungeon. Why does both Small and Large Plate Metal weigh 2 units? I don't know but I changed that. Almost all Dwemer miscellanea has been made reasonably lighter, you won't be crawling out of creepy ruins with 700 pounds of metal in your backpack as often. A few items have had their value raised slightly as well, to maintain consistency. The Centrution Dynamo Core has received the biggest boost, now valued at 200 shiny gold coins. I mean, come on, it glows. I'd want that on my peasant shelf.
And it's an ESL-ifed ESP!
Tweaked Vanilla Recipes:
- Bent Dwemer Scrap Metal (2) -> (1) Ingot
- Large Dwemer Plate Metal (1) -> (2) Ingot
- Small Dwemer Plate Metal (2) -> (1) Ingot
- Solid Dwemer Metal (1) -> (4) Ingot
- Large Dwemer Strut (1) -> (2) Ingot
- Large Decorative Dwemer Strut (1) -> (3) Ingot
New Recipes:
- Dwemer Cup (5) -> (1) Ingot (for all 3 kinds, unfortunately you can't mix them)
- Dwemer Cog (2) -> (1) Ingot
- Dwemer Gyro (2) -> (1) Ingot
- Dwemer Gear (4) -> (1) Ingot
- Dwemer Lever (3) -> (1) Ingot
- Small Dwemer Lever (4) -> (1) Ingot
- Dwemer Scrap Metal (3) -> (1) Ingot
- Dwemer Plate (3) -> (1) Ingot
- Dwemer Pan (2) -> (1) Ingot (same as the cups for variations)
- Dwemer Dish (2) -> (1) Ingot
- Dwemer Bowl (3) -> (1) Ingot (same as the cups for variations)
Recipes are hidden in the smelter by default, to reduce recipe clutter, they show up on the condition you have at least 1 of any Dwemer smeltable item in your inventory. (Besides Dwemer Scrap Metal Smelting Recipe. No matter what I do it just won't hide. We can probably live with that.)
The amount of ingots per scrap piece has been balanced according to their models size. It will be a bit harder to acquire 100 ingots after a single dungeon run but the gathering will be more lenient for your carry weight and less dependable on googling "skyrim what dwemer stuff can you smelt". I'd like to say that I did some complicated and accurate math to make it immersive and realistic but I just eyeballed it.

This mod only edits the records of Dwemer scrap things, the vanilla smelting recipes and adds some new ones. Tested and played on Skyrim 1.6.353, but it should work on any version and be compatible with everything, let me know if you encounter any issues or something I've missed. ESL flagged.
