title: Brick press for clay bricks
report: |
(agent) The Brick press ($60) is in the Machines tab next to the Saw. Every 8 clay lumps resting
on it become a Green brick that drops out underneath. Drop green bricks into a fire hotter than
about 900°C (blow them in, belt them in, or put the press over a fire) and they turn into Bricks.
2 Bricks build a brick wall block, they sell for about $9, and builders order them. Please try
pressing and firing a batch, and check that the press's moving plate reads well.

## Context
- Clay bricks should be made the same way as the Saw's stone blocks: a 1-block hopper piece takes grains on top and drops an item below. A Brick press squeezes clay lumps into green bricks, and like real bricks they then have to be fired to become Bricks.
## Subtasks
- [x] Brick press block: every 8 clay lumps resting on it make a Green brick that drops out underneath
- [x] A Green brick that gets hotter than about 900°C fires into a Brick
- [x] Bricks build brick wall blocks (2 per block) and sell; builders order them
