Is it just me, or ...

... is silver unreasonably hard to find in this update? I find myself needing considerably more silver in Subnautica than gold. But in the current update, silver is as rare as hens' teeth, while in some biomes you can't swing a rabbit ray by the tail without hitting a chunk of gold. It took me until about six hours into my current game to find enough silver to make a fabricator (just in the nick of time, as my lifepod was apparently drifting off to the Bahamas forever). But I've got piles of gold I have no use for.
It doesn't help that while they have different names, all of the different "outcroppings" — limestone, sandstone, shale, basalt — all look exactly the same. You can't tell one from another until you're within arm's reach. Life would be a lot easier if you could tell the different kind of outcroppings apart — and if one type of outcrop contained one type of material, instead of the current crapshoot in which even when I DO find a sandstone nodule, as likely as not it's gold. Which also seems to be the principal yield of both basalt and shale. This game, I've stopped even bothering to break basalt and shale.

Caves are usually a good source of silver.
Also, if you repair your life pod with the welder it should come fully online and stop moving (I think it uses a grav anchor or some such technobabble).
