True Kiln

A true kiln is your standard kiln. It's good for the following:

• Turning 12 wet firebricks into 12 firebricks.
• Turning 12 Wet Clay Mortar into 12 clay mortars.
• Turning 12 wet jugs into 12 jugs.

Each of these uses requires 6 wood to fire the kiln.

Also, these kilns last significantly longer than a Box Kiln. After about 35 (this number needs to be verified for T3) uses, they crumble to dust, returning no resources.

Comments

• Salvaging the kiln before it breaks saves resources (build multiple kilns at the same time, use evenly and salvage all when the first breaks)
• Getting 4 true kilns is a wise move, at the least -- it allows you to rebuild at least one if they break.
• A true kiln will take a combination of items, up to a maximum of 12 items total. I just fired 2 clay mortars, 6 firebricks, and 4 clay jugs together.
