Where to Find Silver in Subnautica 2
Subnautica 2 — current release build
Overview
A rare metallic ore found in mid-depth rocky biomes and canyon systems. Silver Ore is used directly in Fabricator recipes (Wiring Kit, Advanced Wiring Kit) and must be refined into Silver Ingots in the Processor for vehicle and advanced base construction. Significantly rarer than Titanium and Copper, making dedicated farming runs essential before mid-game crafting.
Where to Find Silver Ore
Crag Canyons
Best SpotPrimary farming biome for Silver. Rocky canyon terrain with exposed silver nodes on cliff faces and canyon floors. Watch for Sandspear and Hound Gar before settling in to farm.
~350m north of Lifepod
Caves near the Old Habitat contain silver nodes among other resources. Lower danger level than Crag Canyons — good for early mid-game farming while visiting for blueprints.
Mid-to-late game farming location with higher silver density. Higher danger level (Sandspear, Hound Gar). Located in the deeper region of the map.

Tips
- →Silver nodes have a distinctive bright metallic sheen — look for reflective surfaces on canyon walls and cave ceilings.
- →Clear the Crag Canyons of Sandspear threats before settling in for a mining run.
- →Silver Ingots (3× Silver → Processor → 60s) are required for Advanced Battery and Tadpole Dock — prioritize before vehicle construction.
- →Build a Scanner Station at your base to automatically track and highlight nearby Silver deposits.
- →Wiring Kits require Silver Ore directly (not Silver Ingots) — keep a raw ore stockpile as well as ingots.
