It has no milling mechanism attached, it's basically a decorative pinwheel with an empty space underneath... and massively expensive... disappointed.

It should at least look as though it is grinding grain or something. It is currently the only thing in game that isn't grinding in some way...

    Sign Language, that twould be pretty neat.

    Milling your own flour would be pretty cool though.

    I think it's great they're coming out with such structures, functionality-aside, but I wish they'd given us some time to replenish our gold savings before releasing an expensive item like that a week after the Alinor greenhouse @ZOS_Cardinal ;)

    Yeah the 250k price is absurd. No way should anything cost over 100k on the luxery vender. The greenhouse is better for it's size at that price. Don't know what Zos is thinking.

    the game has magick, daedra, gods like Hircine, FLAPS, it is literally based on "un-realism".

    I always shake my head if people then focus on such details of "unrealism" like with the mill.

    I actually prefer it like that, as you can use it in a variety of contexts like that.

    Decorative in a park, or adding a purpose by using material that indicates the context, like wheed from the witches festival.

    You even could add a "transport-mechanism" to the top, in the simplest case 4 planks forming a tiny "elevator", or an orcish basket, it has a metres long rope ( use several of those in earthtear cavern as ropes to hold floating wooden platforms).

    I will add a screenshot in 10 minutes with a "context" way.

    orcish bucket, cistern.

    Used to fill the golden nirncrux bucket.
    This certainy can be done with more love for the detail, but I run out of slots, so keep it simple.

    2MA6Dld.png

    The golden nirncrux buckets are placed leading down to the water, and placed on small boats.

    Context: the mill processes the nirncrux, and it then is sold elsewhere.

    I left a traditional "manual" nirncrux grinder at the beach, so people understand the process how nirncrux is processed.

    Why stop there? Think bigger outside the box. Windmills should actually be FUNCTIONAL static assets. Which let you craft raw items like wheat/rye and other grains for Provisioning and alchemy.

    Which btw, has been possible courtesy of the free SkyFalls and SkyMills mod which animates all existing windmills and waterfalls in the game world. Or better yet, the functional 3D windmill mod. Both of which you can download into your mods folder for Skyr----

    Wait. Wrong game. nvm.

    Carry on.

    and you can't place it anywhere in the iconic Alinor Townhouse either :D

    Too expensive for me. Was broke after buying the Greenhouse last week, and while I *thought* I had made enough gold over the course of the week to get this weekend's stuff... I, well, didn't.
