Saddle Quern
A saddle quern is an early game alternative to a TFC quern for grinding and crushing various materials.
A saddle quern consists of a saddle quern base that is placed on the ground, and handstone that is placed on top.
Right click a Saddle Quern Base while holding a Handstone to place it. Right click the handstone with an empty hand while sneaking to retrieve it.
You can acquire Saddle Quern Base and Handstone by Carving a Rough Stone block using an Adze.
Right click the Saddle Quern when holding an item you want to grind to place it into the input slot. More then one item can be placed at a time as long as the items are the same type, and can form a stack.
The item that is being grinded will show up behind the handstone. Right click the item with empty hand while sneaking to retrieve it.
Right click the Saddle Quern to operate the handstone. Input item stack gets processed one item at a time. In case of food items such as grain, 4 ounces get processed at a time.
Output material is ejected from the front of the Saddle Quern and falls to the ground and has to be collected manually. Output material will be automatically collected into an open container such as a basket or a unsealed vessel that is placed right in front of the Saddle Quern.
Saddle Quern can be used to process grains. Grain processed with a saddle quern becomes Coarse Flour.
Saddle Quern can be used to crush olives and apples to be later pressed to extract olive oil and juices using a Stone Press.
- Although the animation cycle and sound matches the rotary TFC Quern, the Saddle Quern processes input four times slower.
- The Saddle Quern will accept food stuffs that have been cooked, but not if they have been processed in other ways (such as brined or pickled).
