Windmill doesn't work

[L'oracle]

Hi i built my windmill, assigned some workers, the wheat is threshed and been transport

but the windmill wont turn it into flour, it doesn't work at all

what can i do ?

In my experience, it takes a LOT of wheat for the windmill to work longer than just a few days (in-game). But if the windmill has a road connection, it should work with families assigned, provided there's enough wheat.

I have 40 grains in the windmill 2 families assigned, nothing happened

[Devil in me.]

Is it windy?

You probably built it when it was near 100% efficiency and then either trees or buildings got placed around it and now its so slow it looks like its not moving.

1 Family will churn through 10 grain in a blink of an eye. Its a seasonal building atm on my end, I can process 2-3 fields of grain from a single windmill with a single family before the snows fully set in.

works for me. note the windmill efficiency changes with nearby trees/buildings. i put mine out in the middle of the fields.

I restored an abandonned one who was already on the map
i checked the efficiency by trying to build a new one, it is over 90% no trees and just 2 houses and an oven next to it

well i let 2 years passed now its working

Need to blow on it.

I think you just didnt have grain, you need to wait for you farmers to transform wheat to grain then it takes time for the grain to be transported to the windmill :)

yes i had my farmers threshed the wheat and transport it to my windmill
but things are solved now thank u :)

[NotSure]

maybe try demolishing it and rebuilding it, check the efficiency when building and make sure the farm house turned the wheat into grain and someone is working in the granary to transport the items... maybe it might work... I do know it works, I made some last night

I had the same issue. It looks like it's specifically a problem with the rebuilt windmill in the center of the map. It doesn't ever produce, I think because the King's Road is "on its space"?

After the harvest make sure you leave workers in the farmhouse to then convert it from wheat to grain, which is what the windmill takes. My issue was once it was all harvested I reassigned them to other jobs. But they need to work in the farmhouse after harvest to convert them to grain. Once I made it all grain, one family in a windmill did make a ton of flour.

What to do if a windmill doesn't work in Manor Lords
(Что делать, если в Manor Lords не работает ветряная мельница):

Eng: Assign people to the wheat field, there they will process wheat into grain and everything will work

Ru: Назначь людей на поле пшеницы, там они переработают пшеницу в зерно и все заработает
