This article is about an older version of DF.


A quern is a single-square workshop used to grind certain plants into flour, sugar or dye. The process will also produce seeds from plants being milled. Unlike a millstone, the quern is powered by the dwarf using it to perform the labor. A quern must be crafted at the Mason's workshop from stone before it can be built as a workshop.

The quern may also be used to mill seeds/nuts to paste.

It can be difficult to prevent or ensure the milling of certain plants, as the game provides no menu for that. Generally the miller will pick the closest plant, with the usual, occasionally surprising, definition of closest. Custom stockpiles close to the quern and/or the forbidding of certain plants are two possible ways. Both need careful micro-management.

Bugs

  • 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.
