No Cadmium anywhere!!!!

[TheonlyMac]

Plz help :(

I've been looking in red systems like the guide said but after 10 systems there is NO CADMIUM.

[Czeszko]

i think you dont get lucky

Best ive had was activated cadmium but you cant use that to make the warp drive. 15 systems now...

Cadmium is found in red systems now :)
Emeril in green systems and Indium in Blue systems. Otherwise there's just copper from the normal yellow systems.
You will need the necessary upgrade on your starship to have access to different systems :
Cadmium drive for red,
Emeril drive for red and green,
Indium for blue, red and green.

Cadmium is everywhere for me :D you are not lucky enough

If you fly over the planet, you should see red deposits -usually about ship sized lumps. They are pretty rare- in my experience-but visual overlook is probably your best bet.

If your planet scan does not indicate cadmium....move on- no need to search.

i don't know if you and i are on the same page, but let's start witht he basics
cadmium is in red stars. so warp to a red star. then scan every planet. every planet has the basic resources (i.e. ferrite, sodium, carbon, etc.) cadmium spawns as a resource deposit and is red colored. it's refienry ratio is 1:1 which means 1 cadmium = 1 chromatic metal. chromatic metal is about 20 units more expensive than cadmium. Use your visor and do a slow 360 and look at every resource deposit that shows up in the visor. then tag which ever one says cadmium.


if you land at a planet that doesn't say cadmium in it's resource list, it won't have it. if the resource is at the top of the list, it is very common on the planet. if it is at the bottom of the list, it is very rare on the planet

My main base is on a planet with lots of Cadmium, in a system with planets that have Activated Cadmium as well. There are two more systems nearby with Cadmium. The key to finding something is to look for it.

I wish people would read my op. I have been to 15 RED systems now and not a single planet has had cadmium, only 1 had activated cadmium. I scan each planet from space and move on if no cadmium. I am losing my mind here.

One could use that Activated Cadium in a refiner to get regular Cadium maybe? Works like that with carbon i think.

[Piano-Reeves]

make sure you have no filter on when exploring the galaxy map

Sadly it makes something else :(

Cadmium does exist. Just have to keep looking and you will find it eventually.

i had a hard time finding it but that was because the ship map icon for cadmium is green exclamation point and not a red ore deposit icon. i had to land and verify the icon readings. then i realized it is all over the place, just poorly indicated.

Is that planets that have cadmium after you scanned from space or just cadmium you happend to find on a planet?

Wow I absolutely shocked at how everybody that responded DID NOT HELP AT ****ING ALL!!! I came here with the exact same issue as OP and as I'm reading everyone's responses, it couldn't be more obvious that they clearly don't understand what OP is saying. SMDH
