Illustration or example
- Example: In an early-access save, you might locate Silver by exploring a cave near Lifepod in the northern region, then using a tool upgrade that highlights mineral veins to confirm Silver presence on walls or ceilings. Patch changes may improve the visibility of those veins and reduce guesswork.
