Table: Materials and Ratio

Input Number Output Number Notes/Use
Grain 1 Flour 1 Cooking (Bread Dough)
Bone 1 Bonemeal 1 Farming (Fertilizer)
Sylvite 1 Potash 2 Farming (Fertilizer)
Halite 1 Salt 2 Food Preservation
Limestone 1 Lime 1 Leather (Limewater), Mortar
Chalk 1 Lime 1 Leather (Limewater), Mortar

Mechanical power

Querns can be powered by windmills to partially automate grinding, for more info see mechanical power.

Storage

Querns do stack and can be transported in player inventory, or stored in containers. The quern, though made of stone, does not require a tool to pick up. To collect a quern, break (left mouse button) with bare hands or any other tool, and collect.
