Silver ore on planets?
Where do you find silver ore on planets? the space engineers wiki says that it can be found with nickel ore. I haven't found any so far and processed and drilled alot of nickel ore.

Rare ores are usually in the rocks on surface. Common ores are underground.
ive found 4 iron deposits 2 nickel 1 silicon and 1 uranium. So am i supposed to keep looking?

It's all randomly place depending upon a seed Use the Lander and the Large Ore Detector. Search the dark spots on the surface, these are hints to where ore is located.

Once you find a deposit note what other ore is present since they it is randomly generated but the groups will often be repeated. That is to say if you find Silver, Magnesium and Iron in the same spot, you will almost always find these three ores grouped together.

My experience has been that almost every dark ore spot contains more than 1 type of ore. Many times it's further underground so if you have your hand drill and/or a small ship ore detector you can only see 1 type or maybe 2. If you happened to fly over the spot with the large ore detector on a ship / vehicle you will typically see 3 type of ore.

Granted I can't say specifically if that's how it was intended, but I'm on world number 100 right now and I've yet to have an ore spot that had only a single type of ore other than this one odd spot that was only 3 large blocks wide for some reason.

Also I've found most of my silver/gold in deposits on the shoreline of frozen lakes. I've found them elsewhere, but seems most deposits I find that are on the shoreline and part on/off the lake tend to be silver or gold or both.
