Eta Draconis A7 I'm 90% positive is a place I've found a bunch of cadmium. It was either that or junga 5, but im almost certain it was Eta Draconis. I actually found a bunch while I was there looking for yttrium. I'm searching for specialized legacy firmware and pharmaceutical isolators, to level up Palin to 5 to get my dirty drive, he's the last engineer I have to level for the things I wanted.
Also did you check Galnet at Palin's station for a planet within 30ly of him that has cadmium? I have enough, so I haven't checked, but I've found the planets they give to be great sources for the mineral, I've had no trouble finding whatever I'm looking for using that method.

Haven't had the time. I am trying to keep my spot in this war CG and I'm just taking a short break for the thrusters. Junga 5 seems like I have gotten some there in the past now that you say it. Ill likely hit there.
Pleiades Sector JC-U b3-2 2 barnacles have Cadmium. One has been confirmed intact and undefended today (since Thursday's barnacle status change)

Thanks for this, however I just got an extremely good roll(1% over standard grade 5 max) on the first try so no extra collecting needed. I will look at that next week when I'm going to finish up my Eagle and Vulture.

that is confirmed. Just went there. It took me about one hour with the SRV to find three Cadmium.
I get at least that much Cadmium while mining in a Metal-Rich ring.
THanks for this ... i been checking various planets but not found anything better than 1.5% so far!
Want a bunch to re-roll a few times on DD5 and PP4
Those surface rocks which you blast apart and collect the materials, can you detect them from your ship? You can cover a larger area quicker in the ship? Can you direct them, then land when you find something?
no.
you can scout a part of the planet where higher grade materials more likely spawn, though.
and, if you are going for very rare materials, depending on your loading time when switching srv/ship, it can befaster to land, switch to srv, use srv wave scanner 360 degree to check for metallic meteorits, switch to ship, fly 2-5 km and repeat.
Europa in Sol has Cadmium and Arsenic.
Took me 30 minutes of surface prospecting to find loads of both the other day.

I'm not sure, whether or not this is also an 'illusion of control' (as I mentioned in another recent thread), but I've read about this and had indeed good success following the advice:
Make sure you land in one of those differently (usually darker) shaded regions all planets have (not limited to, but probably including craters). The chances for rare materials seem to be higher there.

Epsilon Ceti A 1, land in one of the big craters
2g, loads of cadmium and a bit of arsenic too
Are there any planets which have an abundance of Cadmium? Ever source I've found has a very small percentage of Cadmium on the planet.

Its quite a rare material like Yttrium and Arsenic, you're unlikely to see much over 2.5% even in the best case.
That's what I'm finding.
