I can't find silicon!
I am playing on lone survivor map and I couldn't even find 1 gram of silicon on asteroids! Does asteroids contain silicon?

Personally, I find that I don't need to go looking for silicon with how much I end up getting out of processed stone. Yes, stone isn't just for gravel anymore, as you'll get iron/nickel/silicon as well as gravel.
There's been any number of asteroids I've passed up in disgust as they were mainly silicon and not worth adding to the world complexity by touching them with a miner.
