The Propeller Hat is the sewing machine's answer to a mining snack. Feeding Cloth and a Miner's Treat into the machine turns the dish into a beanie with a spinner on top, which is a strange trade for a meal that hands out three levels of mining and a wide magnetic pull. The recipe for the treat arrives free at the third level of Mining, so the hat is within reach of a farmer who has barely started down the ladder. It is also one of the cosmetic hats that drop by luck during ordinary work, which is how most farms meet it first.
Location
A Miner's Treat is cooked from two Cave Carrots, a measure of Sugar and a bottle of Milk. Cave Carrots are foraged in the Mines, and hoeing the dirt patches on the floors around ten to twenty turns up far more of them than simply walking past does. The recipe unlocks at Mining level three, which is a few days of swinging a pickaxe.
Anyone who would rather buy the dish can. The Dwarf in the Mines sells it for a thousand gold, the Dwarf halfway up the Volcano Dungeon keeps it as one of his meals of the day, Krobus sometimes has one in the sewer on a Saturday, Mummies in the Skull Cavern drop it, and the cavern's treasure rooms hold it too.
The machine that makes the hat sits in the front room of Emily and Haley's house. Cloth goes in the feed slot and the Miner's Treat on the spool, and one press finishes the job. Emily appears outside the farmhouse to explain the machine on the first sunny day after a piece of Cloth reaches the backpack. Her Rock Rejuvenation special order, which asks for one each of Ruby, Topaz, Jade, Emerald and Amethyst, pays out with a machine the farm can place wherever it likes.
Chance is the last route. Monsters, smashed crates and barrels, felled trees, shaken seed trees, artifact spots and panning spots all have a slim chance of dropping a cosmetic hat, and this one is in that pool.
Effect
The hat is a soft cap with a bright propeller fixed to the crown, the classic child's novelty. It suits a loud shirt and makes a farmer look about eight years old, which is the appeal. Mining, farming and combat all carry on exactly as before. Hats move onto a cat, a dog or a horse, and a propeller on a mount is worth seeing at least once.
Notes
Spending a Miner's Treat on a hat costs a real advantage underground. Three extra levels of Mining and a broad magnetic pull for over five minutes is the best help a farmer can carry into a bomb run, and a dish that useful is usually worth eating. The sensible answer is to cook two.
Cave Carrots keep turning up as long as the Mines are being worked, and Sugar comes from Beets at the mill, so the ingredients are cheap and endlessly repeatable. That makes this the easiest of the novelty hats to replace if one is given away to a pet.
Hats cannot be sold anywhere, so the treat handed to the machine is gone for good.
