Kiln
The kiln clock holds while you choose a language. Leave this control to continue; an existing pause stays paused.
Reading the kiln & scoring
Heat responds slowly. Use Stoke and Damp to change fire by 5 percentage points; the vent sheds heat quickly. ↑ / W stoke · ↓ / S damp · Space / Enter vent · P to pause · H for help · R restart.
Keep the temperature in the target band until Time in band fills. The dotted forecast shows the next two seconds with unchanged controls. Settle estimates where the current fire would land while fuel lasts. On a cooling hold, damp early and watch the forecast.
Three cracks or an exhausted firebox end the run. The middle of the band earns a Steady bonus; drifting out loses hold progress. Finish all five firings to win.
