A True Kiln is a basic type of Kiln for firing wet objects. It is an upgrade from the Box Kiln, with greater durability and the ability to fire a variety of items.

This building becomes available after you have learned Kiln Construction and attained level 1.

Cost

• 48 Firebricks
• 100 Bricks

Use

• Turn up to 12 Wet Clay Bricks into Clay Bricks.
• Turn up to 12 Wet Clay Mortars into Clay Mortars.
• Turn up to 12 Wet Clay Jugs into Jugs.
• Turn up to 12 Wet Firebricks into Firebricks.

Note: You can mix resources in the kiln (e.g. 6 Wet Clay Jugs and 6 Wet Firebricks) up to the maximum capacity of 12 items.

A newly built True Kiln will survive at least 20 firings and then can crumble at any time when firing. You may want to consider tearing it down for salvage before it crumbles to save on firebricks, or you may wish to repair it to save on regular bricks.

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 back to the 'The True Kiln firebricks will survive at least 20 more firings' message.
