I have been trying to write a utility for this.. and I can't do it in a way that I am happy with and I defiantly don't want any more dwarven sugar lol.

The game won't let you add custom reactions to querns and millstones. You could build a custom workshop, but custom workshops can't be powered. Furthermore, the custom workshop doesn't quite work the same....

The best thing to do would be to add it under the kitchen menu.. you already have it so you can select if things can be cooked or brewed. Please let us select if something can be milled.

Maybe that is an advantage that could come from the guilds that will probably be added. A mason's guild could let you chose the kind of stone used for a specific job or the farmer's guild could let you specify what exactly is going to be milled. Without the guild's know-how, the clueless organiser has no idea of the different kinds of stones or what plants can be processed.

I will support this, especially as we start adding more crops into the roster with Improved Farming.
