Rai'jin Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 I feel like there should be a rocker box using mechanical power or something like that in the later game like bronze or iron age, maybe even copper since you have to achieve mechanical power first. Inventing a mechanical hammer but still panning ourselfs feels kinda weird. I guess droprates would have to be adjusted with this automated panning, but yeah like the idea of panning is still reasonable in the later ages. A crafting recipe could be similar to the other mechanical stuff something including a hammer, chisel, wood, resin, fat and some metal lamellae. The machine could be 2x2x1 blocks and have to be placed in water. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Couple of thoughts... 1. What else is there to do at night when there's no chores to do, such as cooking food, molding/firing clayware, etc? 2. there's a mod (don't know if it's up to date) that adds a sluice box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rai'jin Posted August 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 1. Isn't really an argument for me I know what you mean but still. It would fit quite good and panning is....annoying It is some quality of life content and i think if you achieved mechanical power you usually won't need panning anymore, would be nice though. But i'm also aware that there is more important stuff to do, just you know suggesting. 2. I looked several times but i didn't find anything like that.

Maelstrom Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Consider that there's lore content in bony soil, which makes panning mid to late game worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rai'jin Posted August 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 yeah you have a pount there. It's still annoying thought Just gimme that damn rocker box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 It would be nice if a rocker box would sift an entire block at a time. Maybe it takes the same amount of time as panning half a block (four layers?) but provides the results as if the entire block had been panned.

Rai'jin Posted August 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 Yeah i mean that would be great. Some advanced Tool making that whole panning thing faster. even if you still have do to it manually, but can pan a whole Block or half a Block in the same time and with less klicks. There should be something. Or some mechanical Box you have to refill with the pan or some other Tool constantly, but still is faster, would be great too. Like the big Hammer. It does it's thing if there's wind, but to work with it you still have to be there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryRob Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 There is a mod that added something similar. It's an awesome must have mod. I don't remember if it is useful stuff or qptech? Vintage Story Mod DB Vintage Story Mod DB One of them adds a sluice for automated panning, and it has become the central point of my base because it's free bronze, free arrowheads, all while using up all the surplus sand and gravel from my desert clearing projects.
