Cadmium is a material needed to make cadmium steel, which is a substitute for technetium steel.

Production

Cadmium can be obtained by smelting cadmium powder, which can be obtained acidizing 10 mustard willow leaves with 250mb of high-perfomance solvent in the ore acidizer.

Uses

Cadmium can be alloyed with steel ingots to make cadmium steel which can be a substitute for technetium steel recipes. Can also be used as a substitute for orange dye.

Cadmium powder can also be used in a chemical plant alongside unsaturated hydrocarbons and chlorine gas to make PVC bars.
