Hello!
I've been having a lot of fun playing Kobold camp over the last week or so, and I decided that I'd try using pottery in my most recent fort, having had trouble with running out of wood in a couple of forts (I was using planks).
Unfortunately, it looks like the pottery system is entirely bugged, like it is pretty much nonfunctional.
When you run the "shape X" reaction, such as "shape bricks(4) from fireclay" you will not get wet clay bricks. You'll instead get a random greenware item. Typically a greenware bowl or ladle.
This happens regardless of the type of object you're trying to make.
This -almost- works with the rest of the system. You can take any greenware item (like a bowl) and dry it into a bone-dry bowl.
You can then take those bone-dry bowls and turn them into any kind of stoneware item in the oven. Like you can turn a bowl into a bunch of bricks, or a pot, or a jug. Not the intended behaviour, but it sorta works.
Unfortunately. It looks like the tool-type item that you're using for the greenware and bone-dry phases of production interact badly with other reactions. If you have a farmers workshop, your kobolds will try to 'boil silk from a coocoon' with your greenware items. I don't think that reaction does anything except destroy the greenware item in question (you don't get greenware silk thread). I suspect this has to do with both silkworms and greenware items being 'tools'.
There's also several disconnects between the type of bone-dry and greenware items and the list that you can make in the Clay Oven. For example, you can 'shape a clay mechanism' and 'dry a clay mechanism' (both of these will -actually- create bowls or ladles) but you can't fire it, meaning you can never create working clay mechanisms.
