Panning
From Vintage Story Wiki
Panning is an early game method of acquiring metal ores from sand and gravel terrain blocks.
Materials Required
- Gravel or sand blocks. Each block of sand or gravel fills the player's pan 8 times. (Muddy Gravel cannot be panned)
- A Wooden Pan, crafted using a piece of log with a knife beside it in the crafting grid.
Panning Process
- Stand in a water block
- Place the sand or gravel block (to be panned) on dry land (not touching water).
- Place the pan in the hotbar and equip in the active hand
- Fill the pan: Aim the crosshairs at the gravel or sand block and use Right Mouse Button.
- Wash the pan: Aim the crosshairs at the water and Hold Right Mouse Button until the pan is empty
- Any items recovered from the process will transfer to the player's hotbar or inventory
