there's so many amazing windmills in these forums already, but i still wanted to make my own. i also originally wanted to make a larger one, with room for baking and clothes making, but i'm really not a fan of working on architecture so i started a bit smaller. the color palette and textures i used are deliberately matched to the grinder/mill stone itself.
this windmill is specifically designed so that you can get maximum speed when using the grinder/mill stone. it goes fastest when pushed from the outside, but it's easy to slip off the edge, so in this mill there is just enough room for the grinder on the first floor and nothing else, so you can close the door and press yourself against the walls and not fly off the handle while turning the grinder. the ladder to the next floor can SOMETIMES be a problem because of how they change your movement when you look at and touch them, but if you just don't look right at it it should be fine. (or you can just pick up the ladder while you grind and then put it back, there's iron to hold it in place so you can see where it goes)
the second floor has some space for a few crafting stations you might not want in your main house, like the paper press, and the top floor has a realistic but simple mechanism that you can crouch under or jump over, and room for additional storage. (i recommend picking up some hemp or cotton planters from here if you don't have/want a full greenhouse)
also please note that if you select the furnished version, the grinder MAY act a little weird. you can fix that just by picking the grinder up and putting it back down.
my husband TayohShadowind helped a bit with some of the repetitive stuff (like the initial circle of stone bricks at the base) and made the internal mechanism, but i did all the main design work like the initial layout, decorative stone around the windows, and the actual windmill blades.
