Tungsten will never spawn in your initial home planet. Try and look somewhere, some other planets in your system.

I was going to suggest grinding some more common ores then buy it from the Ursa Miner shop, but even refining final tier ores the exchange rate is like 20ore : 1 bar.

I just ended up making my moon base and ship with ornate wood back wall with iron block outside walls. You get so much, so easy. My volcanic base though is metal but I realised it really wasn't that important after it. You can just say make the walls metal and the background a common thing like wood. Just pretend you've wall papered over the metal.

You could maybe even try to paint a commoner block so it appears to be metal with Y if you've unlocked the sprayer.

You pretty much just mine it. You can try to look for say fossils at the same time. You could even /fullbright yourself so it goes much faster though that's a little cheaty. If your super rich you can buy from the bear in the outpost.

You can buy tungsten at Ursa Miner at the outpost. Tungsten ore is usually found in planets around temperate stars and you can look at the geological analysis of a planet when you click on it in the ship navigator.

Tungsten is found on planets around temperate and gentle stars. Except for lush planets.

Tungsten is most abundant on forest (not jungle) planets. Just before you reach lava depth, you should see fairly large tungsten veins.
