Difficulty

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

Game Code

Pan minerals seem to be updated every 10 minutes in each open water of 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);
	}
}

GameLocation::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 location is reduced to a specific portion of the map, but otherwise the process is the same.
