TechFreqs Kinda Fast Forge

Description

The TechFreqs Kinda Fast Forge mod V1.1, significantly speeds up crafting and smelting times at the forge when the bellows and anvil add-ons are installed.

Key Features:
Bellows: Smelting is 5x faster (e.g., clay smelting reduced from ~5 seconds to ~1 second).
Anvil: Crafting forged iron and steel is ~2x faster (e.g., forged iron takes ~2 seconds, forged steel takes ~3 seconds).
Vanilla Reversion: When the mod is uninstalled, all forge speeds revert to their original vanilla values.

Summary of Adjustments:
Item Attribute Original Value New Value Effect
Bellows CraftingSmeltTime @value 0 -0.8 Smelting is 80% faster (~1 second).
Anvil CraftingTime @value 0 -0.571 Crafting is 57.1% faster (~2-3 seconds).
Anvil dCraftingTime @value 1.0 1.33 UI displays updated crafting speed.
Forged Iron @count 1 1 Outputs 1 forged iron ingot per craft, bug as it was outputted to two with previous revision.
Forged Iron is made within 2 seconds instead of 4
Forged Steel is made within 4 seconds instead of 7
Basically, Crushed Sand, Clay, Lead and Stone are smelted 1 second for 1 of the ingredient and outputs 5 each
as for scraped iron and brass, its noticeably quicker too.
