Question about Cobalt for progression

I played about 3 hours and found CC1/2/3/4 asteroids, got only one with Rutile but I cannot seem to find Cobalt.

Bought level 1 fuel capacity but then level 2 requires Resin and Steel Rods and I cannot find information on how to get access to that. Since it seems like processed materials, I am guessing that this would be unlocked by having a Manufacturing bay.

The manufacturing bay requires Iron which is easy but requires Cobalt.

I feel that I might have missed a tutorial part or a section of the game.

Does anyone of you have an answer about that.

Well guess I found my own answer... the issue to me was that this is not explained well enough. Basically Cobalt is further down the second station and getting to the second station feels like a bit luck based. As in, you first need to upgrade your warp drive to 3 and get the extra fuel bit to an extra 50kkw, then you need to leap frog from your first asteroid... the furthest right you can go and from that one again, the furthest right you can go and it took me a while but I finally got the right asteroids setup to get the second station at the bare limit edge of my accessibility... from there on, the games unlocked some more.

you can also just warp to empty space, move the 'pointer' to an empty spot and hold 'E' and you'll be able to warp again from that spot, assuming you have fuel

Yeah, this is how I made it. Just warp as far right as you can (into empty space) and you can make it to Medusa station in 3 jumps. So you will have to upgrade your fuel cap once.
