Can't Find Silver in Subnautica

Silver Ore is an early electronics resource hidden inside Sandstone Outcrops, with a second route through Barnacles. If you only search for loose ore, you can miss the resource entirely.

LAST CHECK

ANSWER LOCK // QUICK RESPONSE

Break Sandstone Outcrops in the Kelp Forest, Grassy Plateaus, and nearby cave routes. You can also harvest Silver Ore from Barnacles; it is not normally a loose seabed pickup in the early game.
