MILLWRIGHT: A Windmill Placement Puzzle, Free Demo is a game, paid, with a free browser demo on the store page.
Raise three windmills. A mill stays where you raise it. A farming parish needs its grain milled. Every farm carts its sacks to whichever mill is nearest, walking round the river, the drystone walls and the ponds, and a bigger farm sends more carts. You are the millwright. Walk the parish, raise three mills one at a time, and make the hauling as short as it can be. Hold a direction and the millwright walks.
The number at the top of the screen, HAUL, is the parish's total carting if a mill stood right where you are, with the mills you have already raised. It changes with every step. It is honest, but it only knows the mills already up, so where it is lowest for your first mill is rarely where your first mill should go.
Every parish has a proved least hauling For every parish the game tries every possible set of three places and works out the least hauling any three mills could give. That is the PAR on screen. Get within 1% of it for GOLD, within 4% for SILVER, within 8% for BRONZE. Anything more is LONG ROADS, and the next parish waits until you do better.
