alright so:

-we probably need noble gases to make an ion cannon (go suck some up now)
-silicates will be needed later when we're building automatic things, so leave them be for a moment
-methane is evil and needs to be destroyed
-to destroy methane, we need an ion cannon, and we're not going to mine minerals which aren't exploded -> land on the ice giant and build a planet-based ion cannon from what we have there

i think we have a good compromise here

"First Initiative Support Transporter in its most pristine form does not have any foraging equipment nor does it support transport of noble gases."
// Doesn't mean you can't make it work that way, tho.

// Pretty varied opinions here. This isn't an evolution game, we can't do multiple things at once (not yet, or not with that kind of setup). A long term e - you can actually detach the (active) intelligence cores from the C.O.R.E. body and attach them anywhere else, mechs and spaceships included. If you want to, of course.

"Scans show that Semicour 2 is richer in usable minerals than Semicour 1, but it also has higher gravitational pull than the other satellite." // (about 3 times as high, but both are still relatively low values)

Spoiler: F.U.E.L. (click to show/hide)

"Acronym for Factory Universal Environmental Lander, this vessel is a hybrid of a factory and a lander, with thick armor allowing for safe atmospheric entry and a set of landing gear. To sustain its energy consumption the top module has a set of two high-density solar panels, which generate energy for other modules - the onboard refinery and its mover arm and the factory bay. F.U.E.L. also has an uplink system, allowing for communication between it and the higher-in-command operatives."
// From top to bottom - combined view, first "floor", second "floor". The rover arm is not touching the ground, in case you wondered.

// The factory bay is on the left, the "deck" is on the right and the refinery (as well as generators, for that matter) are on top. The rover arm (I'm assuming it's that kind of arm used to pick stuff up :|) can reach both the factory bay and refinery. Not 100% accurate design, but cut me some slack, we aren't playing KSP here. (well, we technically are if you think about it.)

I changed it a bit so that it can defend its self better
