{{info|'''Silver''' is a precious, uncommon [[materials|material]]. It is recognized as a [[trade]] currency which all traders will readily accept.}}

== Acquisition ==
Tiles of silver ore can be found on any map, but must be [[mine]]d before they can be used. Once you've completed the [[Research#Deep drilling|research]] necessary to construct a [[deep drill]], it can also be found in midsize deposits underground.

All traders carry a significant amount of silver on them, and will happily trade it for your goods. Non-tribal [[raiders]] may carry silver with them when they attack.

== Ore ==
[[File:Silver_ore.png|frameless|left|Silver ore]]

'''Silver ore''' tiles have 1,500 health each, making them one of the faster ores to mine. They can be found in midsize veins, ranging from 4 to 12 tiles in size. Each mined block has a base yield of 40 silver, however this is modified by factors such as the [[Difficulty]] setting and the [[Mining_Yield|mining yield]] of the pawn. 

Despite being literally made of RimWorld's currency, silver ore has the smallest monetary yield per tile of any ore. All other ores except [[Component#Ore|compacted machinery]] have the same base yield of 40 per tile of ore but produce resources worth more than {{Icon Small|silver||1}} each, while compacted machinery makes up for its much smaller yield with a significantly more valuable resource. However, silver as a currency is accepted by all traders, and silver is the main ingredient for [[sterile tile]]s, so the market value is not the only measure of usefulness.

== Summary==
Silver is the primary trade currency, also represented by dollars ($). It is also a necessary ingredient in building [[sterile tile]]s.

=== Usage ===
Silver is directly used in the following crafting recipes:
{{Ingredient List}}

It can also be used in place of other metals. Like [[gold]], silver is a small volume material, so costs 10x the items compared to other metals. You can create [[furniture]], [[recreation]] sources, and [[sculptures]] with impressive [[beauty]] values, an it can also be used to produce slightly better-than-average [[Weapons#Melee weapons|blunt weapons]]. [[Jade]] (and gold) is more beautiful if it is available.
