Pre-update I wandered over to the Dunes one day and ran into two large silver deposits right next to each other. That was enough silver for me to get all the upgraded pressure compensators and some luxuries, like a Medkit fabricator for my Cyclops and a couple extra Power Cell Chargers. In my post-update new game I can't find a single large silver deposit anywhere, and I'm getting lead poisoning from going to the Dunes. I'm reasonably certain all the large silver deposits in the dunes got replaced by large lead deposits, and that is not fine.
Also, having large silver deposits and large lead deposits share the same model with a slight tint change is like the worst sort of cruel joke. "Haha, you thought it was something useful, but it was actually garbage!" Whoever decided that one of the least useful resources should look almost exactly like the rarest and most useful resource in the game either didn't think that decision through, or they're a sadist.
Have you reset your cache since updating? Whenever there's an update, it's always a good idea to reset it, as sometimes stuff gets scrambled, or not updated. Delete CellsCache and CompiledOctreesCache from \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Subnautica\SNAppData\SavedGames\slot00xx where xx is the number of your saved game.
Edit: I managed to scrounge up enough silver from the kelp forest to get a pressure compensator mk3 and headed down to the inactive lava zone. The only large resource deposits I could find down there were kyanite. Some sandstone, in the passage to the main chamber, but no large silver deposits. Where exactly are they supposed to spawn? Has anyone found one in a post-update game?
The wiki can be wrong, but have you tried searching with the scanner?
(I've just build the PRAWN in my new jan2017 game and I haven't searched for large silver resources yet)
Directly the "silver" in the scanner seem to be the large resource deposits, where sandstone are the singular ones. (scanner looks to be WIP though)
We are talking about the same Dunes, the ones on the starboard side of the Aurora? Or are there other Dunes I'm not looking in? I've never actually used the scanner room since I heard it had really low range, and it also requires a ton of computer chips. 2 to actually build it, up to 4 for the range upgrades, another for the HUD upgrade, however many more for extra camera drones that get destroyed... I don't have that much silver. Seems like the sort of thing you can only build after you find at least one large silver deposit.
Edit: I just cheated myself enough chips for a scanner room w/upgrades and it only scans, like, a 100 meter radius or so with full range upgrades. I'd have to build an entirely new base in the Dunes, power it, scrounge up enough silver for the scanner room, the range upgrades, the HUD thing, and then I'd have to tear it down and rebuild it every 70 meters or so for a proper grid search because it scans a circle. Not to mention the time spent waiting for it to actually scan things. The scanner room is just a way to waste silver getting camera drones stolen by stalkers right now, not a way to find more silver.
That my friend is called the Crashzone, You are in the wrong place.
Grabbed a map and altered it slightly, where you are is the red, you need to be where the green circle is.
