Millstones are the refining station that turns loose materials into powders in Windrose. The live station page describes them plainly: they allow you to make powdered materials, they require a roof, and they only work within Bonfire range.

Why the Station Matters
It is the current live route from raw sulfur to homemade gunpowder.
It also turns secondary materials into powders and food-prep inputs, so it is not only an ammunition station.
Because it needs Millstone Parts as well as Wood, the Stone chain still matters when you are pushing toward gunpowder.
Practical Use
Millstones are a good example of how Windrose hides real progression inside support stations. The gunpowder route does not begin with a musket. It begins with a pickaxe, then sulfur, then ash, then a station that can actually grind both into something useful.
