Ion thrusters don't need cobalt, but do need a refinery, which I cannot build because I need cobalt.
I thought I'd instead try to find stuff from the air, but I can't do that because air thursters need cobalt to build (metal grid), and I cannot salvage enough from the lander to make them. I've tried using rovers for scouting, but the area I'm in is so mountainous and uneven all I do is flip them, and there's no obvious why to flip them back right-side-up. This after hours of flying around in my suit with a drill in my hand. I've found masses of gold, silver, but no cobalt. Back to space engineers after a long hiatus, and I thought I'd start a survival game.
