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. | For mechanized milling, the quern must be attached to a windmill.

* '''Output:''' Placing any item in the output slot will block the output, causing product items to drop out of the sides of the quern. To collect items, hoppers can be fed into chests. Place the hopper at the level of the block supporting the quern, not next to the side of the quern itself. If the hopper, or any block for that matter, is placed next to the side of the quern, this placement will prevent the quern from producing items}. Further, if the quern tries to output an item but the side is blocked, it will restart grinding the item. This means placing one block adjacent to the quern will reduce efficiency by 1 quarter. | * '''Output:''' Placing any item in the output slot will block the output, causing product items to drop out of the sides of the quern.

For mechanized smithing, the windmill is attached to a [[helve hammer]]. With a full complement of sails, the helve hammer will function, albeit slowly, at wind speeds as low as 30%. It can help the player in processing iron blooms and blister steel, as well as making plates of any metal type. | For mechanized smithing, the windmill is attached to a [[helve hammer]].

The pulverizer must be powered by connecting the incoming axle on the left or right lower block of the frame structure. The toggle needs to be placed in the lower frame block. The pulverizer takes up a total of 4 blocks vertically, two for the frame itself and two more for the moving pounders.<br> | The pulverizer must be powered by connecting the incoming axle on the left or right lower block of the frame structure.
