The quern must be powered by connecting the incoming axle on the Y-axis of the machine (top or bottom of the quern). The quern cannot be powered by connecting the axle to the side 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 introduces items to the input slot of the quern. (If the quern is powered from the top, input cannot be automated.) The quern will grind material and drop items on all 4 sides when the output is full. <br> | * Input: Placing a hopper above the quern introduces items to the input slot of the quern.

*Output: Placing a stick to block the output slot will reduce grinding efficiency, but allows players to place hoppers on all 4 sides of the quern. To collect items, hoppers can be fed into chests, or into a system of chutes to direct output to one chest. Place at the ''level of the block supporting the quern'' (floor), not next to the side of the quern itself. If the hopper is placed next to the side of the quern, this placement will prevent the quern from producing items as the "sides are blocked". However, placing a solid block on any side of the quern not equipped with a hopper will prevent the quern from dropping items on that side, but also reduces grinding efficiency. | *Output: Placing a stick to block the output slot will reduce grinding efficiency, but allows players to place hoppers on all 4 sides of the quern.

For mechanized smithing, the windmill is attached to a [[helvehammer]] using a system of gears and axles. With a full complement of sails, the helvehammer will function (barely) at wind speeds as low as 30%. | For mechanized smithing, the windmill is attached to a [[helvehammer]] using a system of gears and axles.
