Hi again, all. As I like thinking about updates and coming up with new ideas myself, this one seemed fun, logic and not too hard to program (I guess).
Panning
**Cost: Frontier & Wilderness 2200 // Hunting & Gathering 1200 // Mines & Mountains 2000 (This is only to give you an idea, everything is up to the devs)
**How it works: With panning you will be able to make and use a panning plate. First you go to a water source (e.g. a river, lake or the sea) and dig in the shallow water, you will now obtain wet gravel. Use this on your panning plate and fill it with water/use your plate on water. You will now have a full panning plate. You should now go to Adventure -> Pan and you start swirling. After a bit you will obtain some gravel (used as stone) and possibly some items that were hidden inside.
**Possible loot: Golden Bead (Rare /You need 10 to make a Golden Nugget of which you will be able to craft stuff), A Tiny Shell (Inspirational), Golden Nugget (Very Rare!), Silver Bead (Very Rare! You will hardly find any silver while panning irl), Platinum Bead (Pretty Rare/ It's worth more than Gold, less common, but it's heavier than gold and therefore it'll drop to the bottom faster than anything)
**Why? Because Panning would be fun, you never know what you'll find inside the plate. An easy but time consuming way to get gold (or silver) without the need of a mine.
Shoot!
Go ahaid, and tell me (and the devs) what's good/bad about this idea and how you would change it/keep it/not implement it.
