Cobalt
Subterranean Mineral 76 
Cobalt is a raw material in No Man's Sky. Mined from underground minerals, cobalt is found in plentiful supply in caves and caverns. Useful in the manufacture of Ion Batteries. It is used in the creation of several technologies and structures, and can be processed in a Refiner to make the most of its inherent charge. To craft it, combine Ionised Cobalt x1 in a Refiner.
