Querns only mill certain plants
« on: July 05, 2008, 02:08:03 pm »
Is it possible to set up a mill/quern to only mill certain millable plants?
I'm growing sweetpods and cavewheat for food at the moment, with pigtails for drinkies. Cavewheat needs milling to be cookable but sweetpods need processing into barrels to get the most food.

Is there a way to set my querns to only mill cavewheat, not the sweetpods? I can't see any likely options so I fear the answer is no, but worth a try. :)

For specialised processing I just make little stockpiles near the mill.Just set your main stockpile to not allow the cave wheat or have the little stockpile take from the main one set it right next to the mill and they grab the closest thing if it's set to repeat.The first time they get the idea to go do the job they might grab one of something else on the way to the mill but once they're there they just grab the closest.
