Turns up to 200 [[Rotten Flax]] automatically, &lt;br /&gt;
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, and is a questionable anomaly in the modern game. (Yeah, that's editorializing. True though)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is a minimum player level required to operate it. Believed to be level 10, but it is confirmed to be at least level 9.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Can be tuned with the [[Mechanics]] skill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Upgrade the base and hopper ==&lt;br /&gt;
Improves the capacity to 600 [[Rotten Flax]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* 400 [[requires::Concrete]]&lt;br /&gt;
* 4 [[requires::Copper Sheeting]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Further upgrade the base and hopper ==&lt;br /&gt;
Improves the capacity to 1200 [[Rotten Flax]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* 300 [[requires::Board]]&lt;br /&gt;
* 800 [[requires::Concrete]]&lt;br /&gt;
* 30 [[requires::Steel Sheeting]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Other Upgrades ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Uses ==&lt;br /&gt;
* You enter the water by walking straight up into it. &lt;br /&gt;
* Swimming is done similarly to running in that left-clicking somewhere will swim you there (but right-clicking won't stop you). Terrain steepness is a factor in determining where you can and cannot move. If you're swimming in rivers or lakes, this should not be a big deal. However, this means you can't go too far out into the Red Sea or Mediterranean Sea. &lt;br /&gt;
* To get out of the water, click on dry land, or select the Stop Swimming option from your Special menu. Be careful: it is possible to leave the water in places where you can't get back in.&lt;br /&gt;
* To Dive: RIGHT CLICK on the water where you wish to dive&lt;br /&gt;

The most basic type of shovel, produced at a [[requires::Carpentry Shop]] out of 2 [[requires::boards]] and 1 [[requires::Stone Blade|stone blade]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is used in group digs to dig for stones, and can also be used to gather [[dirt]] from the ground.  Both uses require dirt terrain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Slate shovels are fragile and will break after a number of uses.  Carrying several is recommended for heavy-duty digging.  Or, for best results, use a regular metal [[shovel]] (when available) which will never break.&lt;br /&gt;
