Pre3.0, things like nails cost 1 iron 1 clay. In 3.0, they now cost 1 iron and 5 clay, a 5 times increase!
This is likely due to the option to turn them into recipes, and since clay soil gets turned into clay units at a rate of 5 clay units per soil, it was to balance the options.
Instead, you should just make these recipes craft in lots of 5 and increase the cost by 5.
Smelter would be 5x iron and 5x clay units for 5 nails
Recipe is 5x iron and 1x clay soil for 5 nails.
All of the items affected (nails, ammo parts, etc) you will want to craft in bulk anyway, so it fixes the recipe little downsides
