Problem with Handbook and Pit Kiln (Bricks)

[Quixote]

Has anyone else seen this in the latest update or two to the v1.19 version?  Can't cook fire clay bricks in the pit kiln now, won't allow the addition of dry grass, sticks, firewood?  Also, when checking certain items in the handbook (related to linen), the game crashes.  Anyone else see this?

There is a bug report on github.

Thanks, saw that today's update fixed the issue with linen.  For pit kilns and bricks, it's working for me now, not sure what the problem was previously.  Probably me.

I struggled with that because I was putting 16 in a pit rather than 12. Not saying you are as big an idiot as I am, just that it's flippin' easy to make that mistake if you are placing them 4 at a time, and fill out the layer from 13 rather than taking away that extra brick.

For me, I was loading the pit kilns while holding down shift and control, to place the fire bricks more at a time.  I was still holding shift and control and couldn't add grass; you need to hold only shift to start adding the grass (unless you swapped the sneak and sprint keybinds, then idk).  Seems like the tooltip to turn the pile of bricks into a pit kiln doesn't show up until you add the first handful of grass.
