Difficulty

Is it just me or is panning really, REALLY hard? StardewValley4eva (talk) 12:12, 4 April 2021

Game Code

Pan ores points seem to be updated every 10 minutes in each Location, except the Beach. Island North has an overriding method with one line changing.

GameLocation::performOrePanTenMinuteUpdate

public virtual void performOrePanTenMinuteUpdate(Random r)
{
	if (((NetList<string, NetString>)(object)Game1.MasterPlayer.mailReceived).Contains("ccFishTank") && !(this is Beach) && ((NetFieldBase<Point, NetPoint>)(object)orePanPoint).get_Value().Equals(Point.Zero) && r.NextDouble() < 0.5)
	{
		for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++)
		{
			Point point = new Point(r.Next(0, Map.GetLayer("Back").get_LayerWidth()), r.Next(0, Map.GetLayer("Back").get_LayerHeight()));
			if (isOpenWater(point.X, point.Y) && FishingRod.distanceToLand(point.X, point.Y, this) <= 1 && getTileIndexAt(point, "Buildings") == -1)
			{
				if (Game1.player.currentLocation.Equals(this))
				{
					playSound("slosh");
				}
				((NetFieldBase<Point, NetPoint>)(object)orePanPoint).set_Value(point);
				break;
			}
		}
	}
	else if (!((NetFieldBase<Point, NetPoint>)(object)orePanPoint).get_Value().Equals(Point.Zero) && r.NextDouble() < 0.1)
	{
		((NetFieldBase<Point, NetPoint>)(object)orePanPoint).set_Value(Point.Zero);
	}
}

IslandNorth::performOrePanTenMinuteUpdate

Point point = new Point(r.Next(4, 15), r.Next(45, 70));

Not 100% sure, but from what I understand:

1. There can be only one OrePanPoint per Location
2. Every 10 minutes, the ongoing Point has a 10% chance to disappear
3. Every 10 minutes, there is a 50% chance that a draw occurs. If so, 6 points are chosen on the map. If one is in open water, it becomes an OrePanPoint

On Ginger Island, the drawing location is reduced to a specific portion of the map, but otherwise the process is the same.

PS: The process is quite similar to the foraging spawning, isn't it?

Inaccurate Pan Rewards

I can't decompile the game myself right now, so I cannot say for certain. However, it seems that the Lucky Ring is NOT exclusive to Ginger Island. As of Version 1.5.4, I panned at the Mountain Lake and got a Lucky Ring, along with a Diamond and two Copper Ore. Bluie (talk) 09:05, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

You're absolutely correct, the Lucky Ring can be found anywhere. I've updated the page accordingly. Thanks so much for pointing this out! margotbean (talk) 21:12, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

Foraging Arrows

At level 10 foraging, you can get hints to where things are in yellow arrows on your screen. I am seeing green arrows, and when I follow them, I find panning locations. I don't know if the information is on another page, but I did not see it here, so I thought I should mention it. Scirene00 (talk) 21:31, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

I have added the information to the page (paraphrasing what is said on the Foraging page, which also states this). Thank for you noticing this, this is indeed something that is pretty important to point out. User314159 (talk) 00:48, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Hey guys, this info is already on the page, in the "Notes" section. margotbean (talk) 02:47, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

river, lake, pond, and the sea

I'm not a native English speaker, and I'm concerned about making grammar mistakes, so I think it's better to start this discussion before editing.

Now the page says: "(panning is) from rivers, lakes, and ponds." Since you can also pan from the sea (on the beach during the night market or on Ginger Island South), I suggest we change "rivers, lakes, ponds, and the sea" to just "water". However, I'm not sure about the grammar, so I hope someone could help me with it!--Shirotsuki (talk) 14:40, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

I've updated the page, in 2 places. Both mentioned "rivers, lakes, and ponds". Thank you for pointing this out!! margotbean (talk) 15:17, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

Add image

Should I add an image of the copper pan on your players head Lunarwolf (talk) 03:25, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

No, there's a picture of the hat, it's not necessary. margotbean (talk) 04:25, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Incorrect Ore Quantities

The page states that with a copper pan the player "Can find up to 5 ores, 5 coal/Omni Geodes and a gem/mineral from panning." However, I regularly get more than 5 ores. I was consistently 7, but I remember getting 8 recently. This makes me believe that the count is linked to the player's foraging level, though I can't be certain until I get to foraging level 9.
