This barn walks! Medieval engineering

Support my new project: Walkmill. After the Event crumbling infrastructures tried to adapt to a world devoid of animals. Agriculture bore the brunt of the impact. Wind pollinated plants are the only viable source of nutrients, but with no draft animals cultivating them was nearly impossible. It took the largest famine ever recorded to get academics, craftsmen and peasants to work together. After two long years the brightest minds in the empire came up with a design that could replace the humble work horse. Applying mathematics, windmill mechanics and woodworking created a farming tool that saved thousands of lifes. Key features: Each crew consists of ten highly skilled engineers. Five of them on narrow decks under the roof and the rest as replacement for the injured or killed colleagues.
