How to Get & Where to Find

Mine Sandstone Outcrops found in the Grassy Plateaus biome. These outcrops are distinct from limestone and have a chance to drop Silver, Gold, or Lead. Because the drop is shared between three materials, expect to collect some Gold and Lead while farming for Silver.

Grassy Plateaus

100–300m — the primary source of sandstone outcrops.

Twilight Zone Edges

200–300m — occasional deposits where the plateaus meet deeper water.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where to find Silver?

Sandstone outcrops in grassy plateaus. Look for the darker, rougher sandstone nodes on the red plains — they're visually distinct from the pale limestone of the shallows.

Is Silver rare?

Uncommon but not rare, so plan expeditions to grassy plateaus. Each sandstone outcrop splits its drop between Silver, Gold, and Lead, so gather a few extra nodes to guarantee enough Silver.

What needs Silver most?

Medical kits and computer chips. These gate survival and the advanced tech tree respectively, so prioritize Silver for those recipes before spending it on lower-priority crafts.
