Max Amount of Windmills For One Station?
So, i've been looking around and it seems that some are talking about Grain Mills and if it does speed up production on it AND I saw someone's post peak my interest mentioning that if you build multiple Windmills that you can get production speeds down on most items significantly. Well, just tested this, unfortunately that's not true I don't think.

For Wheat in Grain Mill, it took 3 minutes flat with out Windmills.
With a single Windmill, it reduced it by half, down to 1m 30s.
With two Windmills, it remained at 1m 30s.

I did it with Furnaces smelting Iron, 40 seconds for 1 Iron to be smelted.
With a single Windmill, it was reduced to 20s.
With two Windmills, it remained at 20s.

Now, I am assuming that every machine that is Windmill compatible can't stack Windmills to decrease it so much to things being near instant. From what I just tested, looks like it's a max of 1 Windmill which reduces times by half.

Anything I am missing when it comes to these Windmills? Just curious if there's a way to improve speeds on the Grain Mill beyond just one Windmill type thing.

Currently the game only allows 1 reduction to the craft time.

A 50% reduction in processing time for multiple stations and only requiring one windmill is a pretty good deal.

And option is to just run multiple grain mills as one windmill will support a number of them.

I kind of like this to prevent max optimization from turning the game into a windmill simulator.
