Cannot build Milling Machine in Windmill

Post by bobanja »

I cannot seem to build a Milling Machine in my Windmill. I have only tried it this once as I'd rather not lose the resources if possible. This is the first time I've tried to build the Milling Machine, I did build a Sawmill on the same floor as you can see in the screenshot. The 2nd floor is empty, and the top floor just has a study desk on it.

When I try to build the Milling Machine I get the message: "The mill needs to be built in a place with available mechanical power." This is after the construction sign has already accepted all of the resources for it.

I did see this posted back in 2021 but it didn't have any resolution.

It it matters at all, I did have the construction sign up for quite some time with only some resources on the site, but I just had enough excess bone glue to finish the build.

You have a sawmill already. You can only have one of these machines in the same windmill.

You can build both in a watermill -> https://ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/Watermill

Oh damn, I didn't realize it was only one of the two. But now re-reading I see the "or" on the wiki. Guess I'll be destroying that sawmill because it doesn't seem too useful.

Thank you for your help. Consider this topic closed.

at a certain point, the sawmill currently might become your best saw. as the metal saw kinda spirals intoo the mill,
and its currently easy to get string and bones of higher q than boughs,
also, the metal is weighted higher,
