Engineers Tungsten where ?

Is it a myth it can be asteroid mined ? I'm in a pristine ring for 3 hours and found nothing ? is it only found on planet surfaces ?
 
Looking for tungsten?

It is no myth that tungsten may be found in some asteroids.

Going through my records, I've found it in the A ring of HIP 104504 1, and even some in a belt cluster out near the North America Nebula (North America Sector DS-Z a14-4 A belt cluster 6). Pristine is not mandatory (but is beneficial if you're after painite).
 
Have a look on here :

Type Tungsten into the Material Finder box and your current system into the Reference System box and it'll find planets near you with tungsten in em. Sort by the Ref column and look down the 'W' column - you should find something over 2% within a reasonable range.
 
Tungsten used to be fairly easy to mine in Rocky rings. But the material spawns were later nerfed very heavily.

I've done a fair bit of mining lately, but haven't found tungsten at all. Granted, not much on my mining has been in rocky rings.
 
If you're near felicity farty pants, I got some from Deciat 4 and 6 pieces of yttrium as well, I was down about an hour or so
 
Deciat system has loads. Check the content in the system map on each of the landable planets in the system.

I just got loads of Arsenic, Tin and Yttrium from Deciat 4 - I landed in the big crater just on the edge and made my way in. Also not far is Skardee V, which is a very good prospecting planet for the following....

Iron (21.3%) Nickel (24.7%) Chromium (14.7%) Manganese (13.5%) Vanadium (8.0%) Cadmium (2.5%) Molybdenum (2.1%) Yttrium (1.9%) Sulphur (17.5%) Nickel 16.1%) Chromium (9.6%) Phosphorus (9.4% Zinc (5.8%) Arsenic (2.3%) Molybdenum (1.4%) Tin (1.4%) Polonium (0.6%)
 
Fly to a given planet- either scan or look up the resources available, if Tungsten or any other needed is listed, the % will determine how plentiful that resource is, (usually around 1-2% for Tungsten), use the SRV to collect that needed resource - it might take awhile.

See the posts above yours.
 
Try Nu Tauri 1. It has tellurium and germanium, too, which are in the same row as tungsten at the material trader and has volcanic activity for easy collecting.
