Going Medieval: Crafting steel items

Actual for version v0.5.29.3
The manual for the game does not describe this in any way., although this is a very important aspect of the game. In fact, the iron and steel bib differ only in strength. Seems insignificant at first glance, since it is very easy to make a new armor, however, since the percentage of protection depends on the remaining strength. Therefore, it is important to make them steel.
Moreover, in the same way you can control that, what resources do workers use to light stoves or what material will be used to make clothes.

Therefore, while you have iron, you will not have steel items, however, you can prohibit the use of iron ingots, then you get a steel object.

Likewise with weapons, just remove the hardware from the list.
The game does not focus on this in any way, but, it is very useful not only for steel items.

Woolen, leather and linen.

Clothes are just as simple. True, residents, for some reason, almost randomly choose what to make clothes from., as with the forge and the armoring table, it probably does not work.
