Hi, so as the title says, I’ve jumped over ten red systems and I have not found a single planet with cadmium (I scanned each planet in each system 100%). Is there anything I’m doing wrong? Does the game somehow withhold cadmium when a player isn’t developed far enough or is this extreme bad luck? I confirmed these were indeed red systems by checking if I could bring my un-upgraded freighter there and it was not possible so I’m quite sure I’m interpreting the galaxy map correctly as the systems are as red as they get.

I’ve Googled everything about it and most people seem to find cadmium on literally every red system so I don’t know why it’s not working for me. It’s become a huge timesink, though I did use every space station out there to get my exosuit expansions.

Otherwise I’m having a blast. Intimidated some aggressive alien lifeform and he gave me a great multi tool upgrade for free when I put him in his place ^_^

Oh, and I wanted to share this wonderful view of a planet with magical bubbles. Absolutely stunning <3

Edit:
Question solved, the magic answer was that each system has a certain first character that depicts exactly which type it is! Found a beautiful planet with loads of cadmium but no space station so I decided to set up a base there 🙂
