The pearl caves are showing the pearl spawns, but I didn't seem to get any out of them. It was super weird.

Same, I see pearls, but can't interact. Needs fixed.

I found a bunch along the NW corner on and around the ice flows. lol...its quite cold up there.
They are now brown with hard to see sparkles.

The devs basically took away the glowing dots that covered the pearl nodes in SE. They just look like clams now. Very hard to tell apart from the rocks, aside from being slightly shinier.

There also don't seem to be as many in the shallow water in that northwest cove. Or maybe it's just my imagination, since you can't see them all at once anymore with the new water effects.

There should be a ton more on the ocean bottom, since there were in SE. But I'm still too chicken to dive that deep. xD

Silica pearls seem to be the most difficult ones to get aside from trying to determine whats a oil rock if your color blind like me. At least until I get a Basilo to passive make oil.

Theres normally spawns on the iceflow near penguin island.

I've been finding them under the shallow waters anywhere in the ice areas, there were some on a few sections of ice on the surface near some oil rocks also.
Beaver dams have then added enough extra's to keep me going plus farming trilobites when I can.

It is super hard to detect them. First time ever I have to tame an Anglerfish to harvest it. But I was lucky enough to save baby turtle lvl140 to tank a sharks and shokers so it wasnt that hard.

Silica is rare resource now

Clear any plants nearby with a sickle. If there's a plant within 10m of a Silica deposit you can't pick it up- even if you can't actually interact with plant where you are.

I am having such a miserable time getting them it’s insane

They are a lot more harder to see nowadays, but one good spot to get them is the lake in front of the Ice Cave. That's probably the best place to find them outside the (deep) ocean cave in the NW.

Clams are more difficult to see, they look like rocks. If you find one and cant open it you are too close. Float up higher and try again. You have to travel a lot to find enough to be useful.
