Silicate — Detailed Guide
Silicon from the Extinction DLC
Silicate is a resource from Extinction, the ARK: Survival Evolved DLC, and our records carry it for ARK: Survival Ascended as well. The game calls it "Hardened deposits of silicon. Can be refined into Silicon plates." In recipes it can stand in for 
Silica Pearls.
Where it is gathered
Clumps of Silicate are spread through the Forbidden Zone. They can be harvested with a Hatchet or a 
Chainsaw, or by an 
Ankylosaurus, and the same rocks yield Stone, Flint and Obsidian too.
Recipes it goes into
The ARK Wiki lists the crafting recipes in which Silicate, just like Silica Pearls, is an ingredient. Among them are 
Electronics, the 
Mirror, the 
Carving Knife and the 
Underwater Crop Plot, gear such as the 
Riot Helmet, 
Pearl Chestpiece, 
SCUBA Mask and 
Riot Shield, and saddles such as the 
Spino Saddle, 
Mosasaur Saddle, 
Quetz Platform Saddle and 
Yutyrannus Saddle.
Weight and loot
A piece weighs 0.02 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 2. Our records count 46 crate types that can contain it, such as the Genesis Blue, Genesis Green and Genesis Red crates on Genesis Part 2.
