Tungsten where to buy?

Atm I dont have the ability to build on extreme worlds, and I seem to need a lot of tug,
Where is the best place to buy? Tried the starting locations but very little for sale. Got several starter mines going, though need to build copper mining setup, and havent got the tug I need.

Good question. Try scanning planets and look for it in the element table. There is also a mineral vendor in Akila that you could try visit.

and Neon. Some general vendors have it too. The guy at New Homestead (titan) in the museum area has some too.

there's a mineral shop on neon

check trade authority storefronts (not kiosks)

hail friendly ships in orbit and look what they have to sell you

UC distribution centre in commercial district, New Atlantis, also in any trade authority. If you're looking for hundreds, you'll need to mine it.

Scanning doesnt help, as found plenty of spots, I dont have the required skill to mine it and progress is very slow leveling up. Till I get that skill, Ill need to buy it, ill try those vendors too

Try a trade authority in a different city. Cydonia's a good bet. You can also try to trade with random ships but theres no way of knowing what they have.

Pretty sure I`ve bought it several times in New Atlantis. At least a couple of stores have it, If I had to say right now, UC supply and however is called the mining shop also in the commercial district with the orange front.

just thrown down your ship in the middle of it and build an outpost beacon 2 wind generators, 2 ore extractors and connect them to a storage container.
you will never want for the stuff again.

all major ores and chlorine etc can earn huge credits from the staryard ore requests but they ask for 100s or 1000s of units so automated farming is the way

you say you cant afford to build a farm but it would cost you a whole lot more trying to buy the ore. if youre going to buy anything buy the materials to build the farm

Sorry you did not read my post...

I have plenty of money.

I do not have the skill to build on extreme worlds,
I have found several moons that have plenty of Tug. But all of them are extreme worlds I cannot build on yet.

I have several mining spots set up, I need plenty of Tug to build the mining platforms. Done plenty of surface hand mining though the amount of time and effort to find the ore takes longer than just to be able to find a store to buy it.
