Kilns for recipes that need hotter ore more specific temperatures.
Mods introducing new content into the game.
Furnaces, assembling machines, production chains.
option to turn the normal furnace into a reciper selector, as some people migbt like to limit the amount of new buildings.
I also play with scrappy industry, and the scrap variants also goes in normal furnaces.
This is now a startup setting in 0.4.0. It probably won't play nice with other mods that try to make heavy modifications to furnaces but if you have problems you can keep using the normal kilns.
