There's no Magnetite

[Chicken Gamer]

I've gone all around the world map just to fine only 1 magnetite for the scan chip but nothing. Scanner room is useless, no thermal power. Mine is update 29632.

That statement isn't true. Magnetite can be found in ore veins, & deep lilypads.

Thanks but I know where it was, but now it's even not appeared in scanner list.

The scanner room works just fine. Magnetite was moved recently and the wiki is outdated. Don't expect them to be at the same place.

If you still can't find magnetite in Deep Lilypads, Spy pengling area in the glacial basin or inside the icebergs, then that means your save file is too old. Remember that the map doesn't update properly in the experimental build.

I've just played a new hardcore game yesterday. And I've got spy pengling below M. Maida's base.

Then you should have them in Deep Lilypads that's for sure.

Thanks, got some in the deepest Lilipad.

Remember, if you've met certain Storyline /plot requirements, if you pin a Recipe for something you want, Sea Monkeys will change their behavior, stop stealing from you, and will actually bring you resources that you need for the Recipe.

I've had Sea Monkey's bring me:

Quartz
Titanium
Copper
Silver
Gold
Lead
Lithium
Magnetite
Table Coral
And, oddly enough, Glass! (When I pinned Enameled Glass recipe)

I know you have found it now (Cheers Ignis) but thought this was still a useful tip to mention.

Just to help anyone else struggling with this (just like I was).

The Wiki says it's " ...on the Seabed in the Deep Lilypads Cave". That's not strictly true; it IS in the Deep Lilypads Cave but not on the seabed/floor. It's mainly on the rock walls and ceiling which is a very similar colour to magnetite so it's hard to spot. Using a Mineral Detector to get the rough location and searching the walls with a torch worked for me.

It's starting to piss me off, I've been all the way down to 600+ in the lily caves and found no magnetite at all. Found nickle and uranium. Without it, I can't get the scanner chip hub thingy. Devs seriously need to either make magnetite less of a pain or remove that requirement to get the hub chip.

Nickel is on the floor bed in the deep lilypad biome, for magnetite you are already too low... When you go down outside the underwater mountain with Omega base inside, it should cover the walls down. Found more than 10 with just one run yesterday evening there.

Magninite isn't hard to find at all. While you're swimming around at 600+ meters looking for it, you coulda just brought a Propulsion Canon on land and gotten dozens 4-5 at a time per ore vein.

I felt the same way. I ended up having to use the scanner in the deep lilypad biome...and even then, it was incredibly difficult to see even when I was right in front of it.

[GabGar223]

Theres tons of magnetite in dry land, in the caves, look for veins with magnetite.

[Tywool]

I found it on the floor of the crystal caves just below Maida's base in the safe area before you encounter the shadow leviathan. Hard to see but it is there along with kyanite.

[dragonbornzyra]

There's so much Magnitite and Lithium and Silver on land you'll get sick of seeing it.
