I find it kind of strange that you can mine ore then use without haveing to refine it. I don't know if a refining system is in the plans for the second release but it wouldn't hurt. After all when iron ore comes out of the ground there are impureitys the have to be removed. Which is why it is refined. But mabye that is just me.

Whats even stranger is when you bash it with a hammer it turns into
some fine product

and doesnt it hurt! when someone uses there knee like an anvil and dont you need an oven too put the coal in and then make items using the heated upp oven and ore
