I always found the unability to make bread in townss was just plain annoying. You can buy flour, sure, but what do you even need hydroponic wheat for then? If you decide to produce bread based food you can't help but become dependant on general goods traders, and no matter how many people you have or how fast your setup can produce, you can never speed up the production of flour, because there is none. I looked up both on nexus and here in the workshop and found nothing to suit my needs, well this changes now.

Your people are fed up with having to risk their lives and food just to go outdoors and grind strawflour, so one of them has a brilliant idea: take a hammer and a sturdy table and grind the wheat yourself, manually, hopefully without loosing too many materials in the process.

This mod adds a research entry which costs nothing - just a placeholder to avoid conflicts - that unlocks the Manual Grinding Bench. Quite literally just a table and a hammer. It can of course be placed indoors, but i gave the devs some credit and tried to balance it as best as i could: the bench is slower than a manual silo, it will produce 1 flour every 15 wheatstraw instead of the default 10, and it gives a hunger modifier to whoever is operating it, the process is quite fatuiging. Still, now you have a bench able to turn into precious flour all the wheat you were wasting to make grog, or were not even farming indoors at all.

Doesn't apear to require import, i could add it to my previous saves just fine and everything seemed to work, but i'd like your feedback on this, and also on the balancing i have done, might need a bit of fine tuning. I would also suggest the Moisture Farming mod and the Enhanced Shopping Economy mod, total must have if you plan on sustainability and profit without leaving town. Enjoy!


Version 2
- Finally fixed the collision of the bench, now it can sit snuggly against other buildings and you can walk all around it;
- Consequently altered the mesh in a minor way, you shouldn't be able to notice.
