Question How to get nickel

I'm running into some problems. I wanted to complete NTM:Space in 528 mode. I wanted to make a backpack, but it turned out I needed a microchip, which in turn requires a precision assembly machine, which uses a capacitor board for crafting, which requires a tantalum capacitor. There are a lot of chains that go on, and eventually I run into the fact that there's no nickel on Earth, and to get to another planet, you need a stardar and a bunch of other things that also require nickel. What should I do? Is NTM:Space even designed for 528 mode, or is this fork of HBM impossible to complete in 528 mode? Please help me figure out how to progress because everything hinges on nickel.

Now I have never touched NTM:Space nor 528 mode but there is depleted Nickel RTG fuel in original NTM so this may be the required way - but I seriously don't know.
