 '''Fulling mills''' are large buildings resembling [[Gristmill|gristmills]], designed for the crucial task of completing the cleansing process for carded or combed wool. This involves matting the fibers together to enhance their strength. While much of the fulling process is still carried out manually due to the primitive nature of machinery, fulling mills are present in more advanced hexes, particularly those of [[Type-6 Hex|type-6]] or higher.

		+	Water power is harnessed to set a wheel in motion, connected to an axle housing a cam. This cam facilitates the relentless pounding of a massive hammer, creating agitation among wool fibers immersed in water-filled trays beneath the hammer's force. This process serves not only to cleanse and whiten woolen cloth, but also finds application in the treatment of pulled cotton or retted flax, preparing these fibers for the subsequent weaving of cotton cloth or linen. While similar milling arrangements are crafted for managing other fibers like jute or hemp, fulling mills for these materials are infrequently encountered.

		+	Compact gristmills, with dimensions of around 760 sq. ft. and a height of 22 ft., feature square or rounded spaces. Essential to their operation is a wheel with a minimum diameter of 15 ft. The [[Construction (sage study)\|construction]] of such mills necessitates knowledge of [[Knowledge Points\|authority]]-status. On the other hand, larger fulling mills can prove impractical in many parts due to their reliance on a stream's consistency and the need for a skillful operator to supervise the intricate process.

−	~~== Construction ==~~
−	Water power is used to turn a wheel, attached to an axle, which incorporates a cam that allows a massive hammer to pound continuously, producing agitation in wool fibres sitting in water-filled trays under the hammer's blows. The process is also used to clean and whiten woollen cloth.

−	Another arrangement is employed for the rolling and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scutching scutching] of pulled cotton or retted flax. This brings these fibres into a state for weaving cotton cloth or linen. Similar milling arrangements are designed for managing other fibres such as jute or hemp, but fulling mills for these fibres are rare.

−	Minimally sized gristmills possess square or rounded spaces, 760 sq. ft. in area, with a height of 22 ft. The wheel must be at least 15 ft. in diameter. They require authority status knowledge to [[Construction (sage study)\|construct]]. Larger fulling mills are impractical; the efficiency depends on the reliability of the stream and the skill of the operator in overseeing the process at work.

-Because a fulling mill demands less force than a gristmill, it can be run upon a [[River|river]] that is only 1 pt. wide; however, because the fulling mill also requires copious amounts of water to clean cloth, a water-driven mill cannot be replaced by a [[Windmill|windmill]].
