Summary
Content "Changes volume and length of steel resources"
Purpose of change
Most basic steel components, like chunks of steel, or sheet metal, have a volume far beyond its density. The weight should be the limiting factor when trying to store steel, not the volume.
This PR also adds more accurate lengths to sheet metal, so that they can't be stored as easily in small bags.
Describe the solution
Lumps of steel are formed, and so should be as dense as an ideal block of steel (8 g/cm3). Chunks of steel are misshapen, which I have interpreted as 4 g/cm3, and scraps are bulky, which I have interpreted as 2 g/cm3.
The excel spread sheet has the stats for small metal sheet and sheet metal, assuming 20 gauge steel (0.912 mm thick) as this is the automotive thickness, and also good for general purpose, such as in 200L tanks.
Also note that a comment in the code says that sheet metal is rolled up, so the volume for that item is slightly more.
