Increase the amount of Ore that is needed for Backpack welding
Not Enough Votes
Welding a block with components or directly with ore results in exactly the same requirements of Ore (a block that needs 10 steel plates, which require 350kg of iron Ore, will need also 350kg of iron Ore if you backpack craft/weld it). So it doesnt even matter if you take your time (and energy) to craft the components with a Smelter (now theyre only needed for the advanced Components).
1. Backpack welding should be less efficient.
They also occupy exactly the same space in a container.
2. Components should weight less than the Ore to craft them.
One of those ideas would already shift the balance, so both ideas may not be needed.
