In the Roblox mining simulator, essential tools like pans, shovels, and sluices help players collect resources and earn in-game currency. Upgrading these items unlocks access to richer mining zones, accelerating progression. This breakdown covers their attributes, costs, and procurement methods.
Complete Pan Catalog
Primary tools in the game, pans dictate critical stats like resource rarity chance, storage limits, and mini-game efficiency. Prioritize upgrading these before other gear.
Pan Mechanics Explained
- Rarity Boost: Directly increases odds of finding premium materials proportionally.
- Storage: Governs total yield per session through a square-root calculation (e.g., 400 capacity ≈ 20 items).
- Action Power: Impacts progress made during shaking sequences.
- Action Speed: Reduces delays between shaking inputs.
Available Pans
Shovel inventory
Secondary equipment influencing excavation force, operation pace, and zone access requirements. Higher-tier models perform better but may require specific upgrade paths for optimization.
Shovel Functionality
- Excavation Power: Dictates progress per dig attempt.
- Operation Pace: Sets baseline speed for mining mini-games.
- Zone Access: Determines eligible mining areas based on difficulty tiers.
Shovel Options
Sluice Compendium
Supplementary gear with minor impact compared to core tools. Optimize these last after securing better pans and shovels.
Sluice Dynamics
- Rarity Modifier: Fixed value affecting material quality.
- Yield Limit: Precisely defines output quantity.
- Area Restrictions: Limits placement based on zone difficulty.
- Processing Rate: Governs time between resource outputs.

Pans first, followed by shovels. Maintain comparable tiers between both before advancing.
Insert Emerald, Diamond, and Starshine into Crystal Cavern slots to unlock premium tools.
Recent updates significantly improved sluice effectiveness, making them worthwhile late-game investments.
