===[[Quern|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.
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 functioning power train.<br>
 
Querns can be automated further with the use of hoppers, chutes and chests. For the full automation guide, see the [[quern]] page.

====Automated Quern Train==== <!--T:67-->
The quern must be powered by connecting the incoming axle on the top or bottom of the quern. The quern cannot be powered by connecting the axle to the side of the quern. For maximum efficiency, connect the power input axle to the bottom of the quern. Automating input/output using hoppers and chutes is optional.

* '''Input:''' Placing a hopper above the quern inserts items into the input slot of the quern. If the quern is powered from the top, input cannot be automated. Alternatively, a straight chute with a chest above the chute can be used to feed the quern input slot from the top and is 4 copper cheaper than using a hopper for input.
 
<!--T:69-->
* '''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.
