==Input and output==


==Automated Machinery==
Input and output is handled using chutes, hoppers and optionally chests. Hoppers accept multiple stacks of input items, which are then transported via chutes towards the input slot of an eligible block. A special type of chute, the Archimedes screw, can transport items upward provided it is powered.
===Milling===
For mechanized milling, the quern must be attached to a windmill. With a full complement of sails, the quern will grind materials at wind speeds as low as 25%. Mechanized or not, querns enable the player to grind grain, as well as some minerals into their grinded forms.
