How to Get Silver
Silver Can Be Gathered from Exploring
Silver is obtained by exploring underwater caves and rocky terrains. Some small silver materials can be picked up directly by hand, but most silver sources come from breakable ore deposits.
Tool Required to Break Ore Deposits
While some silver nodes can be picked up by hand, you’ll need the Survival Multitool to mine or break open Silver ore deposits.
Craft Survival Multitool to Harvest Silver
Make sure to craft and use the Survival Multitool to collect Silver more efficiently, which allows you to break open Silver ore nodes that cannot be gathered manually.
Silver Locations
Where to Find Silver?
| Location | Coordinates |

Silver is mainly found in underwater caves and rocky areas, especially 200–500 meters north of the Lifepod where cave systems are dense and easy to explore.
Silver Ore Spots
| Landmarks | Details |
|---|---|
 Underwater Caves | Multiple connected cave networks are the most reliable early-game source of Silver. |
 Anemone Forest | A colorful underwater biome filled with plant life and rocky formations where Silver can sometimes be found around its cave entrances. |
 Bedrock Tunnel Systems | Deep rocky underwater areas where Silver ore deposits commonly spawn inside its walls and tunnels. |
 Wreck | Sunken ship debris zones that often contain useful materials and nearby caves where Silver can be found. |
Silver Uses
Important Crafting Material
Silver is used to craft important items such as Wiring Kits, oxygen tank upgrades, electronics, advanced batteries, and base-building components.

Silver Farming Tips
Use Oxygen Carefully While Exploring
Carry extra air or upgraded tanks so you can fully search caves instead of rushing back early. It’s better to fully explore one cave before going to another.
Scan Walls and Tight Corners Closely
Silver can be easy to overlook because it blends in with other metallic ores like copper and titanium.
Avoid Staying in Empty Caves
Once you’ve searched a cave thoroughly without finding Silver, it’s better to leave and check another location, since resources are spread out.
Plan Around Upgrade Chains
Instead of crafting items one by one, think about what each item leads to. Silver is often part of a progression chain, so early crafts like Wiring Kits unlock better tools and later system upgrades. Always look ahead before spending Silver.
Avoid Random Crafting
Since Silver materials are part of many components, always check what comes after the item you’re about to make so you don’t slow down your progression.
