Clay For Brick Making

I think that using Dirt for clay to then make bricks is unrealistic. i think having a simple chain that makes clay in the early game can be used to make clay (not out of dirt!!!) and that be used in place of dirt to make bricks.

I like the idea of Clay as a new material. There would be several ways to make it. Or it can be found in deposits.

The devs said as much when they added the brick kiln. But the reason for bricks is to have something that's easier than cement to make.
