Panning: Difference between revisions

<languages /><translate>

'''Panning''' is a method to acquire [[metal]] ore nuggets from sand and gravel. This is especially useful early in the game, as it offers a safe and reliable alternative to scavenging the surface for stray nuggets, and can also yield other helpful resources.

Players may pan [[gravel]], [[sand]] or [[bony soil]] blocks. Gravel and sand can be found on the surface, while bony soil is found around or under ruins. Each block can be panned eight times. Different types of blocks may result in slightly different drops. Bony soil in particular uses a different drop table, meaning that panning bony soil may give players items that they cannot get from panning gravel or soil. Panning bony soil may drop very helpful items for early-game players.

[[File:Pan-wooden.png|50px]] The primary tool used in panning is the wooden pan. This is created by crafting one log with a knife in the crafting grid.

'''Common resource drops''' from panning include loose stones (corresponding to the local rock layer), [[flint]], ore nuggets for [[Copper|copper]], [[Zinc|sphalerite]], [[Tin|cassiterite]] and [[gold]], [[Quartz|quartz chunks]] (clear or regular) and [[Clay|blue clay]].

'''Common items''' from panning include flint and copper [[Arrow|arrowheads]] or [[Spear|spearheads]], [[metal scraps]] (which can be used to create scrap weapon kits), and [[rusty gears]].

Additionally, panning may give players lore items such as books, or decorative clothing such as diadems and necklaces. These can be sold to [[traders]] for more rusty gears.

In addition to all of the following, panning bony soil can also give bones, [[silver]] nuggets, and candles. More rarely, panning bony soil can also give components for [[armor]] such as tin bronze or copper chain and lamellae.
