Panning & Sluices

Panning

Panning is a method of obtaining ore dusts of certain native ores by searching in rivers and other waterways.

Panning makes use of Ore Deposits which are found in gravel patches in the bottom of lakes and rivers.

In order to get started panning, you will need an Empty Pan.

Clay can be knapped into a pan as shown above.

Once the pan has been knapped, it needs to be fired to create a Ceramic Pan.

The next thing you will need to find is some sort of Ore Deposit. Ore deposits can come in several different ores: Native Copper, Native Silver, Native Gold, and Cassiterite.

Ore deposits in gravel.

Now you can begin panning!

1. With the pan in hand, Right Click it on the ore deposit block.

2. While standing in water with the pan in your hand, hold down Right Click and you will start panning.

3. After a few moments, if you are lucky, you may be rewarded with some ore dust in your inventory.

Sluices

The Sluice is a device that is used to process Ore Deposits automatically, producing the same results that Panning does, with slightly higher probabilities.

流し樋を設置すると、2ブロックが占有されます。使うには水が内部を通って先端から流れ出る必要があります。流し樋は、内部で水が流れているように見えるときに正常に機能します。水を正しく流すには、水流の最後のブロックでなければなりません。水が先端から排出されるには、流し樋の先端には何もない空間が必要です。

水を適切に配置した流し樋。

流し樋を使用するには、水流を使って鉱床を流し桶に入れ込みます。入れ込まれたアイテムは見た目にも表示され、しばらくすると確率で加工されたアイテムが吐き出されます。

Expected Products

Panning and sluicing can give a few possible products: Ore Dusts, Small Piles of Ore Dust, Loose Rocks, and Gems.
The probabilities for obtaining certain drops can be viewed by looking at the ore deposit in EMI.
