Overview
Shakers are the first way to obtain Gold which it does but turning Wet Sand that is placed on top into Slag with a 25% chance to also extract a single Gold. Gold is passed through the Shaker and dropped out the bottom while the Slag remains on top and is very slowly pushed of the top akin to a Conveyor Belt.
Mechanics
Each Wet Sand will always turn into a Slag but only has a 1/4 chance to also drop a Gold. The only solid pixel that can pass through the Shaker is Gold, everything else will remain on top until pushed off the side.
Tips
Given that Shakers are extremely slow at pushing the Slag along, it is best to place them in a downwards diagonal from where you are supplying Wet Sand. Because Wet Sand has a higher density that Slag, as you input more of it, it will flow down the diagonal 'staircase' of Shakers and settle on the top of each Shaker in a thin layer. This will raise the Slag to the top which will then flow down further to your output.
