In Valheim has tons of places to explore, many of which are far from your already built bases, often leading to long journeys. You need to have a good supply of food in order to be able to continue your journey. And since you can't eat two of the same food in a row, it's important that you have a good supply of different recipes.

How to build a windmill

Ability to create a windmill opens after defeating the boss of the Mountain Biome (Mountains biome) - Mouderom (Moder). This is due to the fact that only after this becomes available the possibility of creating a Craft Table (Artisan Table), which is necessary to create a windmill. The windmill must be built within the radius of the crafting table, making it a must. But you can easily remove it after that, and the windmill will still run normally.

For the crafting table, you need two Dragon tears and ten Wood. The Tear of the Dragon can be obtained from the Mouder boss. Once you have access to the crafting table, you can immediately build a windmill.

Windmills only work when the wind is blowing and the barley processing speed is dependent on the wind speed, which means a large volume can be processed quickly during a storm. Because of how volatile the wind can be, it can be helpful to build multiple windmills to take advantage of the wind when it blows hard.
