===Automated Quern Train===  
====Automated Quern Train====
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.

* '''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.

=== Smithing==
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.

=== Crushing===  
The pulverizer allows to crush certain stones and minerals into fine powder to be used for [[Steel Making|steel making]]. There is no other way to obtain these materials, thus mechanisation is necessary.

* '''Pulverizer Frame''' - holds the pulverizer pounders and connects them to the power circuit.
'''2 Pounder Caps:'''<br />
* '''Pulverizer Toggle''' - connects the powered axle to the pulverizer frame. Can only be crafted with a bronze or higher tier metal plate.
Reinforces the pounders and makes them crush the materials faster. Made by smithing on an anvil.

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 pounders need to be placed in the frame block, and both have to be placed for the machine to work. After placing them, pounder caps of varying strengths - depending on the metal they are made of - can be attached. To add the caps, the player needs to have two cap items in their inventory in one stack, then right click the pounders with that stack. When changing caps, the previously used ones will be returned to the player.<br>

[[Bauxite| Bauxite]] stones, [[quartz]] and [[olivine]] bits and [[ilmenite]] chunks can be placed two at a time under the pounders. The powdered materials will be thrown out at the block side opposite to the pounders. Please not that Ilmenite can only be crushed with pounders equipped with steel caps.
