Recycled Can used as crafting material

Suggestion

Allow the new Recycled Tins to be used to craft other items as they are plentiful and the player generally only will require a few.

Detail

The player now starts with a Recycled Tin in their inventory and others are scattered fairly widely across the world (notably placed by or near stoves) and found in containers like Trash Bins. Also, all food cans that are opened and consumed will return a can to the inventory also. In this way they soon add up.

The tin does decay but only when the water/ drink boils away by between 5-10 points typically. so one or two will last a long time.

Even when players use multiple  tins for multiple fires, there are likely to be a lot left over. On lower difficulty often they just get dumped and litter a corner as they only take up useful container space.

Mechanic

Provide a new craft recipe that will turn recycled tins into say:

10 x Recycled Tin = 1 Scrap Metal  takes 1 hour using a workbench. Possibly require Hacksaw.

Or, 

20 x Recycled Tin = 1 x Cooking Pot takes 3 hours using a workbench. Requires Hacksaw/ Hammer. possibly requires a Forge.

In this way they will have some use for the excess tins that will quickly litter the world otherwise and also help provide another source of the pot which is really handy.

I really appreciate the new Cooking system just some option for these tins and possibly provide another source of pots.
