Wolframite?

Okay, where do I get that?

Also, they should've updated the F1 guide, too.

The Official Wiki has most of the Answers you need.

"Tungsten is the refined version of Wolframite. Tungsten veins are only known to be found on Tundra and Barren but may reside on other planets. It can also be acquired via the Trade Platform."

Tungsten is the refined version of Wolframite. Tungsten veins are only known to be found on Tundra and Barren but may reside on other planets. It can also be acquired via the Trade Platform.
Uses

Tungsten is used to craft the following:

Drill Head
Thruster

First, may reside is not helpful at all. They may reside, or they may not reside. You may find a deposit after searching ten miles around your base, or there may not be anything on the entirety of Terran planet.

Second, tungsten is needed for way, way more than just drill head and thruster. How about Trade Platform and Chem Lab?

Third, I checked both official and unofficial wiki, and neither holds the answer as I'm writing this.

So yeah, wiki is both outdated and incomplete. Check your sources before offering them condescendingly.

I just posted this catch 22 with tungsten on the bug/crashes forum, because my friend and I are in the same boat as you as we were spawned on Terran.

You need Laterite to find Tungsten... You need to build a SMALL SHUTTLE and SINGLE-USE THRUSTER(x2) to go to another world and get some tungsten and bring it back.

There's no catch-22, plenty of players have figured out how to go to other worlds without building the larger shuttles. There's always a way to do something if you simply read the game text.

If you use a printer and select something you've researched, you can highlight the holographic resource and it'll tell you what planets you can get it on. This info should be in the catalog but we forgot how to make tablets and UI's in the future so you have to hunt for the info. To that end, we have holographic technology and use a rotary physical index of things... it's weird.
