It requires a stockpile that only allows these plants and setting it to '{{K|G}}ive To A Pile/Workshop', as the quern provides no menu to specify what to mill. If you don't set a custom stockpile, the miller will pick the closest random plant, with the usual, occasionally surprising, definition of closest. You also need something like a furniture stockpile that allows only bags, setting that to 'giving' to the quern too. Deactivate wood, stone and metal as material to avoid it being clustered with coffers, too. You still have to ensure somehow that the plants arrive at the right stockpile, possibly by not allowing them on any other. Once you got this working repeat for every other plant you want to mill, either switching the 'give' orders every time or setting up a separate quern for every plant/plant combination. |

+ | * If all your rock nuts are in a stockpile, the paste-producing job will not be available. You must have at least one rock nut outside of a stockpile to initiate the job. Once the job has been initiated, the dwarf performing it can use a rock nut from the stockpile to actually ''perform'' the milling. | ||
