The watermill kinda only makes sense if you can completely terraform rivers/lakes.

For a windmill, it could sow logs for you. It would mostly be vanity content, I would say. The only way it would work is that you can take a wagon filled with logs, load them into the windmill/watermill, and turn them into a stack of logs/boards.
So it would be a lot of work to build it, just to saw/chop some logs, but speed up if you have a very large operation.

If there is terraforming, then a windmill pumping water would kinda be cool. But do we really want to turn this game into a canal building sim?
