<span style="font-size: 24pt;">THE STORY - PART II</span>

Full Story so Far HERE [Along with All Mods related to my tale]

After finding some traders to offer you some much needed resources. You start harvesting some cobblestone remaining from the ruins. Not sure why the traders would leave the cobblestone behind, but you are glad as it is easy to build with... and stable. As you get to the bottom of the structure, and starting to get worn out, you find some dirt! Not great dirt mind you, but dirt all the same.&nbsp;

Wait a second... what if you took one of those logs you bought from your [Expanded Trader] and made a Pan? Maybe you can find something useful? OMG! The dirt contains riches! Ok... Maybe not gold and silver, but Worms, Clay, and Cat Tail! In a frozen world those might as well be gold! Among all this you even find the starts of Berry Bushes! Better get those things in the greenhouses ASAP!

NOTES

There are a few textural glitches with panning soils. Sometimes it shows a different soil's texture while panning, but this does not impact the results of what you are panning.

This Mod also works outside of a Snowball world. The Story is just continuing of the "Snowball's Chance in Heck" Storyline.

Installation

Please make backups of your worlds before installing in an existing world

However, this mod should work in an existing world.

Dependencies

For Richer Than Dirt v1.1.2 - Game Version 1.15 or Higher is Required.

In order to Pan Worms and Fishing Hooks, you will need to have Primitive Survival by SpearAndFang, found at https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/15

Issues

While this mod works with JakeCool19&rsquo;s Useful Stuff (https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/25 ) Sluice, I have found that certain items that should be rarer when hand-panning end up more frequent with the sluice. Still unsure the cause, and in certain circumstances can "break" worlds through infinite resources. Consider turning down Sluice Efficiency if used in conjunction with RTD.

Roadmap

More Snow Blocks for Arctic Decoration
Further changes to game dynamics

• World Gen update to sand/gravel wastes
• Soils, Sand, FineSand, Gravel all will break down into Piles or Handfuls of the same material when broken - Even with the "correct" tool. You just get more of it using a tool.
• Handfuls of Fine Sand can be soaked in a barrel to get clay (Different FineSand produces different clay)
• Different blocks (IE Soils) will have a chance to drop more than just grass now
• Glacier Ice and Packed Glacier Ice will have a chance to drop valuable resources

Adding in Configuration files to make quality of Panning harder or easier depending on preference (Or disable a material completely!)

Special: For even easier "panning" results, There will be a special set of blocks players can create USING the pan. These blocks will be able to be broken for an array of items.
