Flour mill
From Travian
A Flour Mill (a.k.a. Grain Mill) enhances your crop production by 5% for each level built, up to a max of 25%. Use in conjunction with the Bakery for an overall crop production can increase by up to 50%.

[edit] Desirability
The determination as to when it is worthwhile to build a Flour Mill is based on the current crop production and the relative costs of building a mill versus upgrading another field. When the following equation is true, construction of a Flour Mill is recommended:
- (5% of total crop production)/(((Flour Mill's Lumber cost)*5)+((Flour Mill's Clay cost)*6)+((Flour Mill's Iron cost)*4)+((Flour Mill's Crop cost)*3)))
- ((Wheat Field's Upgraded Crop Production)-(Wheat Field's Current Crop production))/(((Wheat Field Upgrade's Lumber cost)*5)+((Wheat Field Upgrade's Clay cost)*6)+((Wheat Field Upgrade's Iron cost)*4)+((Wheat Field Upgrade's Crop cost)*3)))
- Side Note: The complicated division is designed to take into account the relative values of the various resources. See Resources for more information.
Generally, this equation does not become true until overall crop production is approximately 400; however this is not necessarily true at all times.
