The '''Sifting Station''' lets villagers '''pan for gold''' in the water beside it. It is meant for river shores. Panning never runs out, but it is much slower than mining a gold deposit.<br />
<br />
== Placement ==<br />
The Sifting Station must be built '''on a shore''': part on land with its front edge in the water. The placement preview refuses a site that does not touch water.<br />
<br />
== Function ==<br />
* Once the station is finished, villagers can be ordered onto the water beside it to pan.<br />
* Panning yields '''100 Gold per minute''' of working time per villager (about one Gold every 0.6 s). A villager mining a gold deposit gathers 10 Gold per second.<br />
* The water '''never runs out'''.<br />
* Up to '''16''' villagers can pan at one station, depending on how much usable shoreline it has. Extra villagers you order are not started.<br />
* The station also '''accepts Gold''' as a drop-off, for panned gold and for gold from deposits.<br />
* The panning water belongs to the station's owner. Other players cannot pan there.<br />
* If the station is destroyed, its panners stop. They do not walk off to a gold deposit by themselves.<br />
<br />
== Tips ==<br />
* A Sifting Station is a steady Gold income once the map's gold deposits are mined out.<br />
* Panning is roughly a sixth of the rate of mining a deposit, so it pays only with many villagers or over a long game.<br />
