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, and is a questionable anomaly in the modern game. (Yeah, that's editorializing. True though)
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.
- 400 Concrete
- 4 Copper Sheeting
Further upgrade the base and hopper
Improves the capacity to 1200 Rotten Flax.
- 300 Board
- 800 Concrete
- 30 Steel Sheeting
Other Upgrades
Flax Gins may be tuned using the Mechanics skill to run more quickly, and/or further upgraded with a 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.
