What is the windmill milling?

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...

    That windmill is the single source of power keeping the servers running. Hamsters are so 2019.

    Sign Language, that twould be pretty neat.

    Milling your own flour would be pretty cool though.

    How much wind could a windmill mill if a windmill could mill wind?

    It milled 250k from players ig :/

    I can understand your disappointment at the price of the item. Really it should of cost 100k like the greenhouse.

    This is a modern Alinorian Windmill - it has the newest magicka technology and can work without mer and beasts. The area you can't enter? That's where the most hygienic milling EVER happens. The wheat is teleported there, the flour is teleported out. Alinorian Mages guild holds the patent rights for that, hence the high price.
    And players need all that flour for housing - what else could we use to make our lumps of decorative wax look edible?^^

    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 ;)

    It’s milling high grade Altmer snootiness. Very rarified stuff.

    It appears highly productive as there’s tons of the finished product out there.

    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.
