Cloth Processor

Add a new type of machine that takes flax or hemp and puts out cloth similar to milling machine.
Has to be built in windmill.

Good idea!
Making cloth with loom is quite exhausting. I had to code a bot to do it for me.
Something like this would make the bot less useful as making cloth would be easier, as you could just dump stockpiles of fibre into the machine.

You can now use stockpiles, so not as exhausting anymore

You could be doing something fun while the processor works.
This way you wont have to make an alt for cloth making.

Automating the looms feels too much like industrial revolution.

We could, on the other hand, automate a couple of things through the windmill: a sawmill to make boards, and a press to make wine/oil. Those are both quite old technologies.

The sawmill could have an UI that allow you to put a saw inside. That way you could replace the saw without having to rebuild the entire machine.

Both would work just like the milling machine, needing to be attached to a windmill. Ideally only 1 of those could be built in each windmill.

Maybe if you make small amounts of cloth.
But if you have big fields, stockpiles wont help much!

Make threads to suggest these or they will be overlooked.
I would like to see all 3.

Pretty sure a press has been mentioned, too.

@jorb you said before in a stream you'd like to add more machinery in the windmill. This is a perfect opportunity.
