			*Biomass->Kiln->Charcoal Out
			*With potential storage between steps
			*Biomass can be peletized, but for a very basic workflow this will most likely not be needed, unless using fuel crops such as grasses etc that will not form "chunky" charcoal like wood etc would

			==Advanced Workflow==
			*This is designed to produce the best product, extract as many useful products as possible, and mainly be used in makerspace level and up
