How to get Silicon in Revenge of the Savage Planet

Despite the guidance of Revenge of the Savage Planet’s tutorial, one resource is only briefly touched on. This material is none other than Silicon, which you’ll need to construct new upgrades. Find out how to get Silicon in RofSP.

Where to find Silicone in RofSP

In the Making a Splash quest, you’ll have to find 300 Silicon to craft the mighty Power Hose. It won’t be as easy to discover as the rest of the recipe, but there is a way to quicken the process. You can farm Silicon fast by defeating enemies, who typically drop these resources alongside Carbon. Although it’s possible to mine Silicon veins, I didn’t have much luck finding this material with this method.

Any enemy seems to drop Silicon in Revenge of the Savage Planet, including Raccoccos. Kick them or use your gun, and you’ll see the Silicon floating near their grimy corpses. If you prefer a more peaceful approach, you can search for yellow-colored veins and punch them for this resource. As mentioned, the veins aren’t as common as other resources, and you may need to rely on enemies instead. There might be a spot rich in Silicon that I haven’t found yet, so feel free to explore the area for better chances. As you progress through the story, you’ll also have more opportunities on the remaining planets.

Once you’ve gathered enough, return to your 3D Printer to craft the Power Hose. This weapon allows you to take down slimy and plant-based creatures, as well as clean off anything murky. Your first task with it requires you to clear off the slime outside your Habitat’s dish. It’s the only way to get your base fully functional. The Power Hose isn’t the only upgrade you can use Silicon with, since this material is also found in a variety of modernized creations, such as the Snork Heat Sink, Rawhide Utility Belt, and Pyrex Loot Magnet.

You can keep track of how much Silicon you have in your inventory by looking for the yellow circular icon. It appears alongside the other two crucial resources: Aluminum and Carbon. Fortunately, Aluminum and Carbon appear more frequently than Silicon. You’ll need all three to craft numerous upgrades and builds that help you survive longer in Revenge of the Savage Planet.
