Silicon is a basic resource, and a Silicon-labeled surface rock offers a direct source without mining a ground deposit.
On a planet surface, at a rock that the Survival Tool identifies as Silicon.
Scan surface rocks with the Survival Tool until the readout identifies Silicon, then break the target in Rock Drill mode and collect its ore. This label-based method avoids relying on old biome advice or rock descriptions that may not match your world.
Repeat at other Silicon-labeled rocks you find. Surface rocks are finite individual sources, so continue searching if you need more than one provides.
Stop when you have enough Silicon Ore for the recipe or construction you are preparing, or switch to another supported Silicon source if labeled rocks are scarce.
