Grainmill

Simple mod, which makes grainmills in Skyrim useful. A couple of new ingredients, some other small changes. Food, which used to be just clutter, can become quite useful.

As a devoted alchimist I have always hated that all the food scattered around Skyrim was useless for my potions and poisons. In comparison with Oblivion ...

Use grainmill like any other crafting station in Skyrim - activate it.
Than choose what you want to grind in the menu.

New ingredients are:
- Bone Powder (former Bone Meal) - made from smaller animal meat as pheasants, rabbits, chicken; also made from Dragon Bones (still found as loot in undead)- at the Mill
- Fish Oil - made from Salmon and Clams - Mill
- Rennet - made from different cheese (mamoth included) - Mill
- Animal Blood Essence - from the meat of bigger creatures, such as dogs, goats, horkers, horses - in Cooking pot under "misc"
- Vegetable Puree - from different vegetables and also apples - Mill
- Mammoth Mucosa - from Mammoth Snout - at Tanning Rack
- Starch - from Potatoes - Mill
-Flour - from Wheat - Mill

I also added an option to make bread at the Cooking stations (from Flour and Salt)

You can now grind Mammoth and horker tusks in the mill and get rare (vanilla) ingredient Powdered Tusk (I omitted "Mammoth", because it is also from horkers)

From perk 40 Alchimist you can also transform cheap and useless Frostbite poison to Frost salts

For the effects of the ingredients and number of items needed for crafting check ingame (writing this would make this description just too long). The effect of ingredients is similar to others, although I made them slightly stronger, to balance for the effort needed to get the ingredient.

Grain Mills are quite few in Skyrim (I left the vanilla set-up), so expect some travelling. Later I will maybe put in some additional ones, specially in bigger cities. Now you can find them in:
Dragon Bridge, Ivarstead, Marryfair Farm, Rorikstead, Falkreath and in Druadach Redoubt interior.

Windmills DON'T work
(although they show an "activate" option - hand driven ones are registered as Furniture/workbencehes in CR, but windmills are as activators, which I don't have knowledge how to use, probably through scripting).

For the ingredient models ("pictures") I used ones from other ingredients, This can be annoying or misleading.Feel free to correct this, even by making your own custom models. I don't do such stuff.

There are no instances of the new ingrediens present in the world; make them and try them.

----------
Mod is made in a way that it is very small and highly compatible. It doesn't change anything in the world, just some properties of objects. So there shouldn't be problems, even with many other mods installed.
------
I have noticed that when the animation stops, there can be a problem (I previously thought it is the follower messing with it) after certain amount of time crafting gets interrupted. Fixing this is way beyond my konowledge.
-----
I have renamed Bone meal in Bone powder, because it made more sense to me. Thank you for the explanation, but I wont install skyrim and CS jut for few corrections.
----
Ingredients are very simple and just few, maybe I could have done more different. My main idea was to make use of Grain Mill and not to make big changes in ingredients.

I would be very happy of your responses and comments!
