Summary
Cadmium (Cd) is a resource. It can be found on planets orbiting Class K/M systems (red stars).
Game description
A chromatic metal, generated by fusion in the heart of a star. Such stellar material ends up forming deposits in the crust of local planets.
Cadmium is found on planets orbiting red stars, and can be placed in a Refiner to create purified Chromatic Metal for use in the manufacture of advanced technologies.
Source
- It can be found on planets orbiting red stars, where it can be mined with the Terrain Manipulator attachment for the Multi-tool.
- Dismantling Pulse Engine Upgrade modules.
- Dismantling any class of Photon Cannon Upgrade yields 125 cadmium.
- Dismantling any class of Positron Ejector Upgrade yields 125 cadmium.
- Dismantling select ship upgrades can yield different amounts of cadmium.
Cadmium can be refined using a Refiner with the following ingredients:
Cadmium ×1 + 
Chromatic Metal ×1 → Cadmium ×2 ("Chromatic Expansion", 0.36 sec./unit output)
Use
Crafting
Cadmium is used as an ingredient for crafting the following products:
-
Amplified Warp Shielding -- Warp Hypercore x1 + Quantum Computer x2 + Cadmium x250 → Amplified Warp Shielding -
AtlasPass v2 -- Cadmium x200 + Microprocessor x1 → AtlasPass v2 -
Emeril Drive -- Cadmium x250 + Wiring Loom x4 → Emeril Drive -
Soul Engine -- Metal Plating x3 + Living Pearl x1 + Cadmium x120 → Soul Engine -
State Phasure -- Photic Jade x1 + Cadmium x100 → State Phasure - Warp Core Resonator -- Cadmium x250 + Quantum Computer x1 + Antimatter Housing x4 → Warp Core Resonator
Refining
Cadmium is used as an ingredient for refining the following products using a Refiner:
- Cadmium -- Cadmium x1 + Chromatic Metal x1 → Cadmium x2 ("Chromatic Expansion", 0.36 sec./unit output)
- Chromatic Metal -- Cadmium x2 → Chromatic Metal x1 ("Extract Chromatic Material", 0.28 sec./unit output)
- Chromatic Metal -- Gold x1 + Silver x1 + Cadmium x1 → Chromatic Metal x10 ("Chromatic Stellar Fusion", 4.8 sec./unit output)
- Chromatic Metal -- Pure Ferrite x1 + Cadmium x1 → Chromatic Metal x2 ("Chromatic Metal Fusion", 0.36 sec./unit output)
-
Magnetised Ferrite -- Ferrite Dust x1 + Cadmium x1 → Magnetised Ferrite x2 ("Stellar / Metal Fusion", 0.18 sec./unit output)
Cooking
Cadmium is not used as an ingredient for cooking using a Nutrient Processor.
Resource progression
Additional Information
- Cadmium (from latin cadmia or from the Greek character Cadmus, ruler of Thebes) is a slightly blueish-white soft metal, however Cadmium deposits in the game may be Otavite or Greenockite, which are cadmium-ores that can be red in colour. Cadmium is commonly used in batteries, electroplating, pigments, and nuclear fission.
Release history
- NEXT - Added as a resource.
- Synthesis - Duplication exploit removed: Refining x1 Cadmium + x1 Chromatic Metal yields x2 Cadmium, reduced from x4.
- Waypoint - Value changed, previously was 234.0.
