Gold Nugget

Gold Nuggets are Items acquired by mining Boulders with gold veins on their side, or from the Pig King when fed meat or given Gravedigger Items. They can also be found just lying on the ground in Graveyards, by Spider Dens, or in Rockyland biomes. They are used to create many Tools and Structures, such as Luxury Axe or Science Machine. Gold Nuggets are also found in Caves from mining Stalagmites or fall from randomly occurring Earthquakes and are food sources for Slurtles and Snurtles. As Gold Nuggets are renewable, they are used to make sustainable tools.
