The idea came from this sort of set up which is fairly common in my area of the world and in the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) which staffs and hosts the Renaissance Festivals near to me. Note: I do indeed need to still create a roof of some sort to provide basic protection from the elements.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Not a problem per say, but more of a logic thing. Pottery Kilns in our world now; at least as they are represented in game are not the type of pottery kiln that is kept indoors, but under an sturdy sheltered overhang or on a covered porch type area instead.
Describe the solution you'd like Remove the "in a room" requirement for Kilns
Describe alternatives you've considered Perhaps create a different category of requirement that only requires the kiln to be covered by a roof and have at least one block of coverage around it? (this may be a more complicated task coding wise)
Additional context Simply a suggestion to bring a workbench into a more real-life congruent functionality
