Really? There is no mill to grind wheat into wheat flour??????

[Inthewasteland]

How could something like that have been missed? We have a frickin recycling machine to turn trash into stuff, and lighting rods, but in a game that has farming as a MAIN function, a mill to grind flour wasnt considered a necessity?????

[itssirtou]

Yeah thats a bit silly

[Markus Reese]

There isn't one? Well, I must ponder as I stockpiled a fair bit of wheat...

[Hurodrik]

Agreed. I hope something of this sort is added later.

I could, but that would mean I am not making pale ales or wined ^.^ I have a small brewery since I am a bit of a roleplay and intent on only using the attic space for brewers

IMHO it is as silly as not having any mechanism for slaughtering the farm animals.
(even if we take family friendlyness into account I think that it could be made in a friendlyness way ... like animals being send to a slaughterhouse and then return as ham, meat and other things)

[ExpoStealth]

i think they should also add a little shed to store materials and stuff

[Solar_Knight]

Well obviously, why would you need flour for? pancakes? get outta here!

[Inthewasteland]

yeah, i stockpiled a bunch of wheat assuming i needed it for bread, pancakes, etc, and now find out i have to buy flour at Pierres.

i always assumed that selling your animals meant this exact thing

I played with the thought as well ...
but considering the fact that you require your (adult) animal to have 4 to 5 stars, just to break even on the buying price (and the best you can gain, even with 5 stars, is ~125% of the buying price (of the young animal)) takes me away from the thought.

It also is strange to have (accountring for the lack of butchering) no meals that contain any meat ... the only non vegetarian m,eats are those that contain fish

[Inthewasteland]

i just noticed that even in the wheats description it says "makes a great flour for breads and cakes" yet you cannot make it into flour. Also, why cant we just have wheat itself turn into bread?? The tortillas require whole corn, so why cant bread etc just require the wheat? (maybe it does, and i dont have those recipes yet?)

[Markus Reese]

Now I want to price compare the selling price of wheat to the buying price of flour.

the chickens in the game are layign hens.. .you dont eat laying hens... the cows are dairy cows... you dont eat dairy cows... the piugs yea theey could be slaughtered... but none of the harvest moon games have ever had animal slaughterhouses in them and that is what this game started out as a harvest moon clone...

According to what is written in the official forums, Concerned Ape actually had a butchering mechanism in place in early versions of the game ... but dropped it later during development
