A millstone is used to grind up certain plants to make flour and dye. To operate, it needs to be connected to a mechanical power source such as a water wheel or windmill. If none is available, a quern can be used instead.

If the power to the millstone is interrupted, any jobs must be requeued when power is returned. Therefore it is best to have uninterrupted power or at least the ability to run it for a long period of time.

The millstone workshop (b-w-M) must be built beside a powered gear assembly to function. It can't be powered directly from a horizontal axle, but it can be powered directly from a vertical axle.

Level -2 has the millstone built beside a gear assembly.
Level -1 has a vertical axle built over the gear assembly (first remove the floor by designating a channel).
Level 0 has the windmill (the center tile is above the vertical axle).
