I can think of two main approaches to solve this:
1. Add negative consequences to carry over when changing metal type:
1a. introduce a whole new world of alloys made when leftovers are mixed with new material Alloys shall have completely different uses than pure metals.
1b. introduce a flush action on smelter and require that smelter is flushed before changing metal
1c. Combine 1a and 1b and make mixed metal a crap good for nails only
2. Remove carry over completely
2a. Introduce metal nuggets (like in H&H) to increase yield resolution and return fractional part of the bar in the form of nuggets
2b. Use fractional part of the bar as a probability to receive the extra bar
Somehow I like none of these, I'd really prefer to just have metals separated completely,
so that each smelter would simply have one carry-over per metal type.
But I am quite sure that fixing the whole process is not that easy, or it would have been fixed already.
