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.

Example Deposit

Now you can begin panning!

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

2. While standing in water with the pan in your hand, hold down 右键 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.

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

洗矿槽被放置后会占据两个方块。为了让它正常工作，水必须流过洗矿槽的顶部并从底部流出。如果水看起来流过了整个洗矿槽，就表示它在正常工作。流进洗矿槽的水必须是水流的最后一格水，且在洗矿槽的出口处必须有一个空方块让水能够流进去。

要使用洗矿槽，只需要把矿石沉积物方块以物品形式丢到上游水流中，让水流把物品冲进洗矿槽，沉积物会出现在洗矿槽中。一段时间之后，洗矿的产物就有可能从下游吐出。

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.
