    I finally got from Earth Like planet to the moon and I am trying to find Gold or Platinum, but I have so far not found it....

    I'm just wondering if those two ore's can be found there... and if not, where can I find them?

    There is lot's of Ice on the moon :x

    moon, in solar system start you have 3 planets, 3 moons and asteroids, platinum needed for ion engines can only be found on asteroids not moons or planets

    You can find Platin on the Earthlike moon i've been there about 20 times already for the other's i don't know.
    Edit: I found mine at the equator

    You can find Gold on any Planet (I recommend to look at the dark spots at a lake)

    Ps: Tested in Vanilla Survival :)

    You CAN find platinum on moons however it is only found very deep. Flying around with your drill in your hands is not enough to find it, you will need a ship/rover with an ore sensor.

    Yep, ideally a large ship sized one the small ones you have to get very close to just the right spot to find plat on the moon
