Just for clarity, I am not disagreeing with you.
I was just giving exact figures for those who may look at this.

Yeah, the point of the refineries for PoB mainteance is mostly about the cash and ease of supply. Depending on your PoBs location it might be easier to supply with mined stuff or with bought stuff. But mined should always end up being cheaper.

Don't worry, I get you St.Denis.
Your analysis and breakdowns are greatly appreciated!

After I had more time to think about this, this is my final suggestion. In a simplified way.
The Problems:
- Scrap smelter refines slow
- Scrap metal takes up a lot of POB space, because 2 Scrap = 1 BA
The Suggestions:
- Increase the smelt speed, so that the space taken up by Scrap Metal is made free faster (kind of like Ore refineries).
- If the devs are happy with the current smelter speed (I can understand not wanting to allow making 1 trillion BA a day), make the smelting 1 to 1. 1x Scrap metal refines into 1x Basic alloy.
