A newly built True Kiln will survive at least 20 firings and then can crumble at any time when firing. It is always more economical to repair the kiln than to tear it down unless you have a very high salvage skill. You are told how many firings are left, before firing, with the statements:

   This True Kiln will survive 4 firings
   This True Kiln will survive 3 firings
   This True Kiln will survive 2 firings
   This True Kiln may crumble at the next firing

After a Kiln crumbles, the building doesn't disappear from the compound, but can be repaired for a cost of 1-20? Firebricks. Repairing the kiln reverts to the 'The True Kiln firebricks will survive at least 20 more firings' message.
