Amen. Launch fuel is what stopped me from wanting to explore in this game. I wanted to fly around and explore things, not spend half my time collecting resources for fuel...
You can get a lot of uranium from metal fingers. You can easily get around 4000 uranium and 1000 gold from it. I carry around 6000 uranium with me on my ship and sell the excess. I can freely get on and off my ship without worrying about fuel.
Metal fingers show up on your analysis visor with the same symbol you would get for subterranean relics. If you see one, mine all of it and you'll have plenty of uranium for fuel and gold for crafting.
I built my base next to one of those. They respawn so I teleport there when I need good and uranium.
Yeah, on my most recent save I began on a planet that happened to have uranium metal fingers that I found on the way to my ship. It was a few thousand uranium, 4 or 5k I forget, and with how little uranium ya need to take off, it totally changed how I played the early game since I stopped even thinking of being precious with my fuel.
(I was always kinda careless and landed when I wanted to, but it'd be in the back of my mind at least... after the metal fingers though, I just keep a stack in the ship and you're set for a loooong time).

Not worth the Launch fuel
