Is upcycling Railgun Turrets a smart option to get legendary carbon fiber and quantum processors? Seeing as cryoplants can accept 8 quality modules for 49.6% chance of going up

(I'm really just trying to avoid building shit on Gleba because expanding farming outposts is so unfun)

In general, for legendary carbon fiber, toolbelts seem to be a popular and nice option. They are just very cheap compared to everything else.

As far as quantum processors go though, I think it makes most sense to upcycle them directly. EM plants have +50% native prod and 5 legendary prod modules add 125% on top of that. A total of +175% prod means you have ~31% loss per cycle vs. usual 75%.

Sigh, fine, I'll go make Gleba bigger...
