Specially the drop pods ones. For example, a raid just left 60 steel chunks in the edge of the map... Its basically almost a full square of where they dropped off. I dont mind if we get less steel, I just want less crap around the map.

You want less slag others want more or at last more steel from slags.
Special the ones which play one extreme biomes are happy about them.

And why you don't smelt them into steel ?
Mosttimes i create a small stockpile/2 shelf/skip (deep storage mod) close to the electric smelter for the slags.
And the bill to smelt them only got limited range, then hauling pawn/animals get them close to the smelter and smelt them away together with the low quality smeltable weapons/appareal.

Ofc I smelt them into steel, but it takes a hell lot of time because there is just so many of them. Think about it, its 60 trips to the edge of the map.

There is really no need to have that many, in fact Im not even sure why they exist at all... They arent a main source of steel. If someone needs steel just go deep drill

You can't deep drill one sea ice, and since it is most of the time too cold for caravan's.

For these people to play on Sea ice it is one of the main source of steel.
Sure on other biome's you can mine and deep dril, it is negligible.
