Use this guide to find planets to get resources in a hurry, it will make your life a lot easier.

Also, if you can, try to power through the first game. The carryover bonuses are substantial, and the long view of the series will make you appreciate the characters in the second game more.

Altnernatively, if you're a fellow member of The Master Race™, you can simply tweak the game to start you off with all the resources you'll ever need, and thus skip the tedium of resource gathering entirely. You should still investigate each planet to find the mini-quests, of course, but you'll know immediately if one is present due to the distress beacons.

Yes, doobie_wop, if you ever get this game on PC that is indeed a thing to do. I don't mind resource mining as much as some do, but if you do mind then console commands are where it's at.
