Cobalt is an uncommon blue metal element added to the game. It has an ingot and block form, unlike almost all the other rare earth metals added.

Production

An uncommon ore that yields slightly less than the standard for other ores, but it yields notable amounts of Iron and copper as byproducts.

Byproduct of centrifuging lapis lazuli ores and crystals.

Shredding lapis lazuli into dust and subsequently shredding that or extracting it in the laser isotope separation chamber for a chance of higher yield.

Can be extracted from rare earth ore.

Primarily used in lithium-ion batteries as well as desh and nitanium blend.

It can be used to make the singularity screwdriver because of the use in nitanium.

Cheap breeding recipe into cobalt-60.

Tools and armor.

DFC reaction catalyst.

Interestingly, it has no use in the custom nuke for a salted stage despite cobalt bombs (a type of salted bomb) theoretically being possible.
- This is perhaps due to it being either difficult to implement or perhaps simply too strong and/or too cheap for its capability.
- The custom nuke has a planned rework, so this may be updated.
