Turns up to 200 [[Rotten Flax]] automatically,
but slowly, into [[Lint]], [[Straw]] and [[Tow]]. Needs *two* characters to start - one must Start the flax gin, while the other picks the Stabilize option on the Flax Gin's menu. The timing for this is not particularly tight - notably and conveniently, you will likely be able to spouse-log and have your spouse Stabilize the gins you Start. It is the only building in the game that absolutely and always requires two players to operate.

{{RequireSkill | Flax Processing | 3}} is required to build the flax gin, and may be necessary to operate/stabilize one.

Can be tuned with the [[Mechanics]] skill.

== Upgrade the base and hopper ==
Improves the capacity to 600 [[Rotten Flax]].

* {{Require | 400 | Concrete | verified = true}}
* {{Require | 4 | Copper Sheeting | verified = true}}

== Further upgrade the base and hopper ==
Improves the capacity to 1200 [[Rotten Flax]].

* {{Require | 300 | Board | verified = true}}
* {{Require | 800 | Concrete | verified = true}}
* {{Require | 30 | Steel Sheeting | verified = true}}

== Other Upgrades ==

Flax Gins may be tuned using the [[Mechanics]] skill to run more quickly, and/or further upgraded with a [[requires::Springbox]] to run more quickly still. Flax Gins with Springboxes may display unusual behavior: They process flax multiple units at a time, and simply stop if there is less [[Rotten Flax]] in the hopper than their unit for that step. It is seemingly possible to have a flax gin processing a non-integer amount of flax per step behind the scenes - this causes alternating amounts processed in successive steps, e.g. a gin processing 3.x will produce 3 flax one step, then 4 flax the next.
