Yes, the silos! They WILL be opened! And all the Dark Eco of the world will be OURS!!
The dark eco silos, as the name suggests, were huge structures used by the Precursors to store Eco which may have been for a variety of reasons. No one knows what happened to these gigantic structures after Jak and Daxter traveled through the Rift Gate. It's possible that the Metal Heads gained access to the Silos, allowing them to achieve the power necessary to grow in number and change the world.
Plot
Until now, we've had to scrape by with what little Dark Eco can be found near the surface. But soon, we will have access to the vast stores of Dark Eco hidden deep underground!
Maia Acheron
These dark eco silos are of major importance in The Precursor Legacy. Gol and Maia, driven mad through experimentation with Dark Eco, try to open a gigantic Silo with a modified Precursor robot in an effort to "re-shape the world to [their] liking". They could not find the Dark Eco they needed near the surface and so they sought for a way of accessing the stores underground. However, it is thought that only Precursor technology was capable of opening the Silos, presumably to maintain control.
After learning of this sinister plot, it falls on Jak and Daxter to stop the Robot from opening the towering Silo, which would otherwise flood the world in Dark Eco.
Other Silos
There is a smaller dark eco silo on Misty Island. In this location, Lurkers are given orders to bombard the Silo with a cannon (directed at you upon entry). This prompts great concern in Samos, who sends Jak to the island to destroy the cannon. This attempt of Gol and Maia to open the Silo by bombarding it with a cannon is a considerable turning point in the story as it shows their obvious realization that they will need Precursor technology to have any hope of fulfilling their terrible plan. From this point on, the Lurkers can be seen scavenging Precursor artifacts in almost all areas.
There is a second silo in Gol and Maia's Citadel, near the one upon which Jak fights the Robot. This is smaller than the one on Misty Island.
It is possible that the Lost Precursor City houses a dark eco silo also, which Jak must escape after accidentally pressing a button and causing the Dark Eco to rise. This would make sense as the City is very low down, near the seabed and so should have faily easy access to the underground stores that Maia speaks of. In addition, it clearly contains a vast amount of Dark Eco, certainly the amount expected in a Silo.
