Panning Machine is a Vintage Story mod by Marieldril. Panning Machine is a powered device that automatically processes gravel, sand, and bony soil, collecting panning drops without constant manual work.
Why this mod is worth installing
It is useful for players who want renewable panning materials to feed into a mechanical production line. The machine favors convenience over maximum yield, so hand panning remains worthwhile.
What Panning Machine adds
The Panning Machine accepts bony soil, gravel, and sand. It must stand in water by default, receive mechanical power from either side, and have an unobstructed block behind it so its water-flow mechanic can work.
Load it by right-clicking the top with a stack or by dropping materials onto the machine. Place a container or chute at the output side to collect results while the device processes the input automatically.
Each material block is processed several times before being consumed, and the machine shows progress information above itself. Its output follows the vanilla wooden pan drop table, allowing panning-related additions from other mods to apply here as well.
