3 How Silver Ore Can Be Found
There are three forms in which silver ore can be found throughout the biomes of Planet 4546B. Firstly, it can be found in sandstone outcrops. This is how most players will likely find silver ore in the early stages of the game. Sandstone outcrops are small mineral deposits characterized by their light brown coloring. Lead and gold can also be found in these outcrops.
Secondly, silver ore can be found in large resource deposits. These are large clusters of a single material that are scattered throughout the world. There are many types of these resource deposits, including gold, silver, nickel, lead, quartz, and others. They require the Prawn Suit Drill Arm to harvest.
Lastly, players can harvest the barnacles on the back of Reefback Leviathans. Thankfully, these are passive leviathans that won’t try to attack. These barnacles can be harvested primarily for copper; however, there is a small chance that the barnacle will yield silver ore.
2 Where To Find Silver Ore In Subnautica
The sandstone outcrops, large resource deposits, and barnacle harvesting nodes appear in several different locations across Planet 4546B. The sandstone outcrops, for example, can be found in many different biomes, but they are most commonly spotted in the Kelp Forest and Grassy Plateaus. While these are the best places to find sandstone outcrops, they can also be found in the following locations:
The Reefback Leviathans and their silver-holding barnacles also have many different native locations across the ocean depths. These creatures are Cathemeral, meaning they are active both day and night. They can be found in the following biomes:
Some of these locations are pretty dangerous, even if the Reefback itself is a fairly friendly creature, so players should be sure to tread carefully.
The large mineral deposits can also be found in some pretty dangerous locales, and the Prawn Suit’s necessity limits how accessible these resource nodes are to Ryley at a given time. In any case, these are the biomes in which the silver large mineral deposit can be found:
1 Silver Ore Uses & Crafting Recipes In Subnautica
Silver ore is important in Subnautica due to its conductivity, and the resource is largely incorporated into creating wiring for electronics. The material is used in a handful of Fabricator recipes:
Silver ore only has one crafting recipe in the Habitat Builder and the Scanner Room each. They are as follows:
Subnautica is currently available on macOS, Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Playstation 4, Playstation 5, and the Nintendo Switch.
