[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quern-stone Wikipedia: Quern-stone]. A-ha! A word I never knew before playing Dwarf Fortress, and another thing you can make out of rock. Here I thought Toady might have made up the word so he could use 'q' as the hotkey.

Revision as of 14:58, 27 August 2008
Is this page redundant since we have workshops? --Mizipzor 14:28, 30 October 2007 (EDT)
- Eventually, we'll probably want a page for each workshop. Workshops should just be a category, IMO. --Peristarkawan 14:48, 30 October 2007 (EDT)
- Good thinking, ill turn all the workshop names into links in the workshop page to indicate that. --Mizipzor 16:16, 31 October 2007 (EDT)
- Yeah, having all the information on a single page doesn't work in the long run (E.g. stones, workshops, but if you look at the old wiki we had templates for each building which I thought worked quite well. Think from the perspective of a user who wants a single snippet of information; "What does the quern do"... we shouldn't force them to read through all the other workshop types. --Markavian
- Tiniest tinyness... ? That's gotta change at some point! I thought I'd build one before editing this page. --Markavian
Differences
What's the difference between a quern and a mill? Is the mill faster, or require less overall labor?
things not to mill
Is it possible to prevent milling of certain plants, like, wheat yes, sweet cups no? a menu like the z-kitchen-cook/brew? Only way i can think of is forbidding the barrel with the not to mill plants, but my dwarfs are intent on piling it all in one barrel. (Can i prevent that by forbidding mix food?) Or having a strict planting order so only one plant is available at a season, but that limits to 4 crops a year ...same thing with processing too--Koltom 13:25, 12 February 2008 (EST)
- why don't you want your dimple cups milled? isn't that required for the dye?--Eerr 13:13, 7 August 2008 (EDT)
- I suspect he meant Sweet pods. Whether a bug or not, 1 unit of sweet pods milled at a quern/millstone produces 1 unit of Dwarven sugar, but same 1 unit of sweet pods processed at the Farmer's workshop produces 5 units of Dwarven syrup. So he'd rather get 5x value by having them processed rather than milled. --Mattmoss 22:23, 8 August 2008 (EDT)
- I think this is a fairly popular request these days. On the official forums there is a thread that has "Improved Resource Management" as one of the things to improve. Maybe you could wander over there and put in your 2 cents about also wanting this improved. In the meantime, I have taken to processing in rounds. I will process into barrels until I have no Sweet Pods left before I mill for flour or dye.
